Offers a unique bracelet identification-tracking program for individuals prone to wandering and who have dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease or developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. The program does not serve as a “sitter,” but rather provides extra support to the caregiver and family to keep the loved one in the community.
