Safety Products
The first thing law enforcement and emergency personnel are trained to look for when they encounter someone is a medical alert bracelet or other identification.
CLEAR recommends that all individuals with special needs wear an ID bracelet or other identification product, particularly those that are young, non-verbal or have trouble remembering. Following are some sources for these products for your reference that you may find helpful.

MedicAlert emblems work a little differently than other identification products because instead of having the individual’s name, address and telephone, the emblems are engraved with the individual’s MedicAlert Member ID, primary medical conditions and MedicAlert’s 24-Hour Emergency Response Center number. Special note: A teal-colored medical symbol representing Alzheimer’s Disease is available as part of a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

Care Trak of California or 800-997-8050
Care Trak Products have been specifically designed to enable monitoring and locating of individuals at risk for wandering or getting lost. All Care Trak systems require the potential wanderer to wear a 1 ounce water-proof wrist or ankle transmitter attached by a tamper-resistant band. As seen on TV on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “Lost without a Trace”.
Sentry Door Alarm System can monitor up to 8 doors in your home. If the person wearing the transmitter attempts to go out a monitored door, an alarm sounds and a status panel will alert the caregiver as to what door has been opened. Visitors can come and go without the alarm sounding.
Products include:
The Sentry Invisible Perimeter Alarm System - This system establishes an adjustable invisible boundary in a circle around the unit. As long as your loved one wearing a Care Trak wrist transmitter stays within the boundary nothing alarms. If they walk beyond the invisible boundary, the Sentry Perimeter will alarm. This unit is 100% portable with no buried wires and can be taken with you for safety wherever you go. For areas without electric current, the unit operates on "AAA" batteries. The Care Trak Mobile Locater is included with this unit.
Care Trak Mobile Locater. The home version of the Care Trak Mobile Locater can quickly find your loved one who wanders off. This user-friendly unit can locate a wandered person up to one mile on the ground day or night, inside or outside. If a helicopter is needed, this range will increase up to 10-15 miles. The Mobile Locater is 100% portable and can be taken on vacations or outings with complete confidence.
