Project Lifesaver

Combining advanced technology with smart search solutions to protect loved ones at risk of wandering — so families can breathe a little easier.

When it counts, we're there.

What is Project Lifesaver ?

Getting lost doesn't discriminate — but the risk is higher for those living with cognitive conditions like Alzheimer's, dementia, Autism, or brain injury. Our Project Lifesaver program is built for moments that matter most. With cutting-edge technology and rapid search methods, we quickly locate missing loved ones — turning fear into reassurance.

How does Project Lifesaver technology work?

When a participant goes missing, our specially trained Electronic Search Specialists are activated to locate them quickly and safely. The program relies on two core components working together:

1. The at-risk individual wears a transmitter bracelet around the clock, regularly maintained by our team, which continuously emits a personal tracking signal.

2. Our Electronic Search Specialists deploy a signal receiver to pinpoint the bracelet's location in the field.

Together, these two components dramatically cut down search times — typically to under 30 minutes — compared to the hours or even days required by conventional search methods.

What makes Project Lifesaver searches unique?

The moment a Project Lifesaver participant is reported missing, emergency services notify our team and we get moving. Our Electronic Search Specialists head to the area equipped with a response kit, zeroing in on the participant's transmitter signal without delay.

Because our approach requires fewer searchers and less equipment than traditional methods, we're on the ground faster — turning what could be a days-long search into a matter of minutes, and bringing loved ones home safely.

Built on trust. Driven by community.

Project Lifesaver isn't just a program — it's a promise to every family we serve. Our team builds lasting relationships with participants, partners with local community organizations, and works closely with emergency services to ensure that when someone goes missing, the right people respond immediately.

WHAT SETS US APART?

Smarter searches. Faster results.

Using a wearable transmitter bracelet and a signal receiver, Project Lifesaver dramatically reduces both the search area and response time — giving our team the tools to locate missing individuals quickly and efficiently.
