Silver Alert System: Going National
Legislation has been filed in Congress that would create a national network for Silver Alerts and provide $10 million in federal funding to help states with their programs. The bill, known as the National Silver Alert Act 2009, was approved by the House last February; it is now awaiting action in the Senate.
Many organizations believe the need for Silver Alerts can only increase in coming years. The proportion of elderly in America will expand as the huge Baby Boomer generation moves into retirement range.
Like a missing child, a missing elder can be a family’s worst nightmare. Time is of the essence in these situations. The Silver Alert System is one way to help get seniors back before any harm can come to them.
KOLOS GPS TRACKING BRACELET has the solution...
KOLOS GPS Tracking Bracelet is THE GREATEST TRACKING DEVICE ON THE MARKET TODAY. THERE’S NO OTHER LIKE OUR KOLOS GPS TRACKING BRACELET!!!!!
Tracking devices for patients using GPS(global positioning system) assistive technologies that can help promote safe walking by alerting caregivers when a person with dementia wanders outside a defined area, plus providing the geographic coordinates of that person so they can be found more easily and quickly. Mobility and the freedom to outdoors are important for maintaining quality of life for the patient. Wondering can provide beneficial physical exercise, a sense of personal autonomy, and social contact. The involvement of people with dementia and activities outside of the home can also relieve some of the stress of their caregivers. But as their disease progresses and memory becomes impaired, people with dementia may become lost, even in familiar places. As a result, individuals with dementia can go missing or experience critical incidents when they leave home alone and are
unable to find their way back.
People with memory loss may also become lost while driving or taking public transit, where a much larger territory may need to be covered in a search to find them. Patients with dementia who wander are at increased risk of injury or death from traffic accidents, hypothermia, dehydration, falls, fractures and drowning. Dementia patients also impose of financial burden on family caregivers incurring substantial health care and societal costs, such as police and emergency response services to help search for missing people.
The new KOLOS GPS tracking bracelet will reduce the time required to find missing individuals , will increase the independence, autonomy and freedom of some people with early to moderate stage dementia, and reduce caregivers anxiety and stress , will help caregivers and emergency responders to quickly locate and ensure the safety of people who wander , will make people with dementia feel more secure and allow them to be more independent, provide assurance and relieve caregiver anxiety. Wondering adds more confusion to the lives of those already dealing with the disorienting disease, and leave many people with Alzheimer's or dementia into unsafe situation.
