How to Keep Track of an Alzheimer’s Patient

Filed under: Alzheimer's Wanderer Locator, Online, PERS for Elderly, Personal Emergency Response System, Safety, Seniors, Wireless Communications, _LifeTrac RSS, _SecuraTrac RSS — admin @ 9:00 am

One of the most difficult Alzheimer’s disease symptoms to deal with as a caregiver is wandering. People will disappear for no apparent reason at random times which can create panic for both the caregiver and the person with Alzheimer’s. Fortunately there are products and methods to help with this dangerous activity.

A number of factors can contribute to wandering and learning to control them can help decrease the likeliness of wandering occurring. Reasons range from looking for something familiar from the person’s past, to needing exercise, to simple hunger. Because Alzheimer’s can inhibit communication abilities, wandering is simply a manifestation of these needs. By offering a snack at appropriate times or looking through a photo album, and taking time to give them physical activities you may be able to erase their need to wander.

But it’s not always that simple. The individual may be able to wander off a great distance before you even realize they are gone, leaving you with no clue as to where they have gone. It can happen while you are preparing a meal, showering, doing chores in another area of the house or even while sleeping during the night. This is when products such as LifeTrac® MobileProtector™ and SecuraPal® Guardian become invaluable to your caregiving efforts.

The SecuraPal® Guardian is a small GPS locator that can easily be worn on the hip, in a pocket or around the neck on a lanyard. If the wearer with Alzheimer’s or dementia wanders off, you can get online and access a private site that shows you where the person is at that moment and the path they took to get there.

Rather than having you wait until they wander off, you can program alerts to be sent to you based on a number of factors: location, speed and inactivity. For example, with the location factor, you can set up a perimeter that they are not supposed to pass through and if they do, preset contacts will receive an alert via email or text. This helps you keep an eye on them before they get too far away.

The more advanced LifeTrac® MobileProtector™ is a GPS locator-phone that can also be used to track someone’s location and activity. It has the same features as the SecuraPal® Guardian but can also be used as a simplified phone. It can make and receive emergency calls so that you can communicate with your loved one if they wander off. It also features one button dialing making it easier to use.

Understanding what causes wandering can help with your caregiving efforts but the unpredictable nature of the symptom makes it especially difficult. The use of products that help you monitor your loved ones will help give you the peace of mind that is so valuable to any caregiver.

Fido, Your Bone and Room Are Ready: Traveling With Pets

Filed under: Family, Online, Outdoors, Pet GPS Tracking, Travel, Wireless Communications, _SecuraPets RSS, _SecuraTrac RSS — admin @ 9:00 am

On Tripatini

By Kaleel Sakakeeny

A huge 14 percent of Americans travel with their pets, that’s 36 million households, so hotels and inns are creating pet-friendly rooms or floors to make traveling with Fido or Muffy easier, and safer.

Some Westins, a brand of Starwood, make it clear they want your pet to feel as welcomed as you are.

They offer pet toys, treats and even a turn-down treat on the pet’s bed.

Some Four Seasons hotels have been known to have a “Bring Fido” program, which includes offerring such culinary specialties as Rin Tare Tare for hungry dogs, and a salmon specialty for cats.

Obviously there’s more to welcoming Fido and his furry cousins than a love of pets.

Market studies have consistently shown that guests who come with their pets, and whose pets are welcomed by the hotel, become repeat customers.

Obviously, pet owners see their pets as part of the family, and are fiercely loyal to the property and the brand that welcomes them.

But traveling with your pet requires definite canine or feline etiquette.

www.bringyourpet.com provides information on 2000 or so pet-friendly accommodations nationally, but also stresses these tips and behavior codes for Fido and Muffy:

• Never show up unannounced with a pet without checking the pet policies where you’ll be staying
• Leaving a pet alone in a room is never a good idea, and usually not allowed by management. If absolutely necessary, be sure to keep them crated since maids will likely service the room
• Leave the television or radio on to keep the pet company
• Consider feeding a pet in the bathroom and avoid carpets , minimizing messes
• Travel with two gallons of extra drinking water from home. If the pet is especially sensitive, use distilled water.
• For cats, experts advise a full litter pan with extra litter, liners, and newspaper to place underneath for cats
• Old towels, carpet cleaner, disinfectant spray, and trash bags are important for accidents
• And carry a flashlight for those nighttime walks

Pet Finder Tip

According to the ASPCA, about 5 to 7 million animals enter shelters every year. But, the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy reports, that fewer than 2 percent of cats and only 15 to 20 percent of dogs are returned to their owners. Most of these pets were found with tags, a tattoo or microchips.

Enter a newer pet-locating technology called SecuraPAL® (Pet Automated Locator) that sends a text message and email if a pet escapes its yard or home.

The device is a small, lightweight GPS locator that attaches to the pet’s collar, and comes with an interactive web platform that allows monitoring the pet’s location from a smartphone or computer.

SecuraChild Uses Social Media to Spread the Word If a Child Goes Missing

Filed under: Alzheimer's Wanderer Locator, Amusement, Fairs and Theme Parks, Autism Eloper Locator, Child GPS Tracking, Children, Family, Online, Outdoors, PERS for Elderly, Personal Emergency Response System, Radio, Safety, Security, Seniors, TV, Travel, Wireless Communications, _SecuraChild RSS, _SecuraTrac RSS — admin @ 10:22 am

By Jeana Lee Tahnk

The U.S. Justice Department reports that approximately 2,185 children are reported missing every day, which averages to a child going missing every 40 seconds. That’s almost 800,000 kids each year in the U.S. alone. The statistics are terrifying. It is every parent’s worst nightmare to be in the midst of a scenario involving a lost child, but tragically it happens all too often.

Amber alerts have been helpful in quickly broadcasting the suspected abductor’s and child’s details through Emergency Alert Systems, but with the advances in technology, there are additional ways that can get the word out faster and to a wider base of people. SecuraChild is one of those ways. It is a website and service that uses all modern means of communication – social networks, Facebook, Twitter, email, texts – to send an alert whenever a child is reported missing through the site.

Parents need to go to the website and register their child(ren) for free. Identifying information such as physical characteristics, medical conditions, photos and videos can be securely added to complete a child’s profile. In the event of a missing child, the parent can quickly go to the website and enter where the child was last seen, what they were wearing, etc. and immediately activate a Community Response Alert. The information, along with the child’s profile, is blasted to thousands of people including followers of SecuraChild on Facebook and Twitter and Securachild members, who can then become a virtual and offline search party.

When the alert is created, SecuraChild also sends parents a document containing all the information entered about the child, which makes it easier for officials and local law enforcement agencies. CEO Chris Holbert says, “If your child goes missing, it is nearly, if not totally, impossible to remain calm. Unlike other services that exist today, SecuraChild is free for parents to use to create profiles for their children, and we broadcast the notification they send us when their child is missing to Facebook, Twitter and our members to create a vast network of searchers in seconds. By using SecuraChild parents can crowd source thousands of willing parents and child protection networks to mobilize a search party quickly as every minute counts.”

It is important to note that SecuraChild does not contact the authorities and police department in the event of an abduction. This is simply an additional service that parents should be aware of to help spread the word and get more people mobilized quickly.

It is the hope that you or I will never ever have to experience anything as traumatic as a missing child, but in the tragic event that it happens, being prepared with technology on your side is the best thing that you can do.
