What is Project Lifesaver?
Project Lifesaver is a collaborative effort sponsored by the Adams County Health & Human Services Department and the Adams County Sheriff’s Department.
This program is offered to Adams County residents who are affected by a diagnosed condition which may cause them to wander away from their home. It is designed to assist in the tracking and locating of such persons in the event they were to leave their home unsupervised.
The goal of Project Lifesaver is to ensure that no person in this program will become a victim and that they will be returned safely to their home and family.
Process:
- An initial assessment will be done to determine eligibility
- Once approved, the client will be set up with the Lifesaver bracelet
- Staff will make monthly visits to ensure equipment is working properly
Family Responsibility:
- Daily light maintenance of equipment
- Possible monthly payments
Benefits
With the ability of the Project Lifesaver tracking device, a search can be successfully concluded in less than an hour, at minimum cost to the community. More importantly than the financial savings that Project Lifesaver brings to the community, it offers the law enforcement agency the ability to quickly and safely bring a wandering person home. Families and caregivers live with an enormous amount of stress when their loved one suffers from serious condition, and the ability to quickly find them should they accidentally wander from home brings a comfort that no other method can provide.
