This afternoon, IMPACT Unit team members, Deputy Geiger and Deputy McRae, met with the board and discussed how their donation would benefit the program.

Project Lifesaver is a program for Brunswick County residents who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, autism or other conditions that make them likely to wander away from caregivers, or who have difficulties communicating with rescuers. Project Lifesaver bracelets can help rescuers find a loved one who has wandered away. The program is funded solely by donations.

In order to participate in the Project Lifesaver Program, the prospective client must meet all of the following requirements:

Live within Brunswick County.

Be diagnosed by a certified physician as having Alzheimer’s disease, other dementia disorders, autism, Down’s syndrome or similar disorders.

Be known to wander away from caregiver.
