When I travel and speak at shows or do interviews to talk about the Emfinders story, solution and customers, I often hear those words. Often if may be phrased differently such as, well dad hasn’t gotten lost in a while so I don’t think he will, or “mom, hasn’t gotten lost yet”. These are common among caregivers or adult children dealing with a parent or loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia. When you think about it, it is a natural reaction to still think of our loved ones as they were ten or twenty years ago. Its much like when you see a child for the first time in years versus seeing them every day. When you see the change slowly occurring you probably won’t notice the difference in behavior, whereas if you see the changes as snapshots it may be quite a bit different.
With over 10 million individuals in the United States alone that deal daily with either Alzheimer’s, autism, Down’s syndrome, or some other affliction that could lead them to wander my question is why would you ever wait. Chris Buehler and I developed EmFinders to help these people when they need it most. Sixty percent of all Alzheimer’s patients will (not may) wander at some point. Children and adults with autism or Down’s syndrome will (not may) become confused and run from their parents or caregivers. EmFinders wants to protect our most vulnerable citizens and provide piece of mind to caregivers, and parents.
Why is it important? Think of it this way, if we save the life of a 10 year old boy with autism, 20 years from now he may find the cure for Alzheimer’s. You never know what the future holds. The affect we all have in that boy’s life may be the one that can change the future in a huge way. Why, knowing that, would anyone risk a loved ones life because they don’t think it will happen? The EmFinders, EmSeeQ is an affordable emergency locater service that has saved lives already. The solution is more reliable than GPS and has an advantage over proximity RF, because of the great cellular coverage throughout the country.
The bottom line is when you need it have it, don’t wait until you need it to want it. There are too many stories of loved ones lost because of denial, face the fears head on and accept it; we will all work to relieve you of one worry by locating the lost.
