Project Lifesaver
Resource Details
Project Lifesaver is a program that assists families and caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s, Austism, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and other related disabilities. Individuals with these disabilities tend to wander away and become confused or lost.
Project Lifesaver gives caregivers peace of mind, reassurance, saves time, manpower, money, and most of all, lives.
Over 47,000 people in West Virginia have Alzheimer’s disease. Sixty percent of those 47,000 will develop the tendency to wander, and 72% of those who wander will do so repeatedly. The survival rate of a person that has been missing for more than 24 hours decreases by 50%.
