Picture this: You're talking on the phone when you notice your child is not in the room. You call out and there's no response, you call again, and still no response. You quickly hang up the phone and start looking. The back door is wide open and your child is nowhere in sight. The adrenaline starts pumping, your heart is pounding and panic sets in. Your child with special needs has run off. The clock starts ticking, time now becomes your enemy. Finding your child as quickly as possible is your #1 priority.
Your child is gone. Every passing minute seems like an hour. Now imagine if this happened in the middle of the night, at the mall, on vacation, or at grandma and grandpa's. You have given new meaning to the words "Stressed out". You haven't had a good night's sleep in ages because you're always sleeping with one eye open. Waiting and listening just in case your child gets out of bed and walks out the front door or climbs out a window. Or maybe you decided the best place to sleep is across the front door. Sleep is illusive because you don't really sleep anymore; you just pass out from exhaustion. Time to just sit down and eat is an elusive luxury.
These are just some of the comments I have heard over the years from parents like you who have a child with special needs. The stress can be overwhelming even on a "good" day. We can help. Although we don't have all the answers, we do have an answer for parents with kids who wander off or bolt and run. Nationwide, dozens of parents just like you have made the investment in Care Trak equipment. In fact, over 400 police/sheriff departments use our larger capacity (locates up to 200 people) Mobile Locater in cities and counties across the country to locate Special Needs Kids with Autism, Down Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Williams Sydrome, Soto Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and other conditions. This also includes seniors who suffer from Alzheimer's or other Dementia Related Diseases.
The Care Trak Mobile Locater can locate a missing child Up to a mile away, day or night, inside or outside. Within moments you can determine the direction your child has gone. You immediately eliminate 90% of the search area in seconds and start heading in the right direction the first time. Even if it's pitch dark outside, with no moonlight, and you can't see the hand in front of your face, the Mobile Locater will pinpoint the direct of your child. And because the Mobile Locater is 100% portable, you can take it along on hikes, vacations, to school and to the grandparents. The Mobile Locater operates much like an antenna rotor on a TV set. The rotor turns the antenna until you get the best picture on the TV set. This happens because the antenna is pointed at the local TV station's broadcast tower.
The Care Trak Perimeter System establishes an invisible boundary around your home that will alert you if your child leaves the yard! The monitored area is adjustable by the turn of a knob and there is no installation required and no buried wires. The unit can be operated on batteries for camping and hiking trips. When your child crosses the invisible boundary you have set, an alarm alerts you. During the day you can expand the area to give your child freedom to play outside and have a good time. At bedtime, you adjust the perimetered area in closer, so if your child leaves in the middle of the night, the alarm will sound quicker. The Perimeter System INCLUDES the above Mobile Locater, so you still have the instant ability to track your child.
Care Trak Home Products were specifically designed to reduce your stress by monitoring and locating victims of Alzheimer's disease and Kids with Special Needs. Police in hundreds of communities across the U.S. now use the Mobile Locater to find Special Needs Kids and seniors with Alzheimer's/Dementia.
All Care Trak systems are built by hand to the highest professional standards required of our professional research equipment. Each unit is hand built, tested and re-tested by professional telemetry engineers and technicians, who are dedicated to quality. This attention to detail assures you the best possible protection for your child when you are involved. Because of this attention to detail, Care Trak equipment can take up to 4 weeks for delivery.
There is no such thing as a consumer version of our equipment. A homeowner version would mean significant cost cutting procedures and materials that might compromise the effectiveness and quality of the monitoring equipment. The protection of your family member is our highest concern. In order to provide the best possible monitoring equipment for the worst possible scenario, we overwhelmingly opted on the side of safety. We hope you will agree.
So what is the downside? Practice makes perfect. You have to practice with the Mobile Locater to get really good at it. We expect you to practice playing hide and seek at least once a month. You want to be prepared for an emergency at all times. You will also have to practice with a number of people to be sure that if you are not around soneone knows how to use the equipment. You must check the operation of the transmitter twice a day. And without fail, change the battery in the transmitter on the same day every month! Occasionally the Perimeter System will false alarm. This usually occurs when your child gets behind a metal object, like a car in the driveway. Most parents gladly live with a few false alarms when they know their child is protected.
Please understand, when you call we may ask you an extensive list of questions. Although some may seem odd or even somewhat personal, it is important we understand your situation. The more we know about your child or loved one and your family situation, the better we can serve your specific needs. Our first purpose is to determine if we can indeed help you. Secondly, we need to determine which system will work best for you and your loved one. This equipment is not viable for every situation.
Please note: Our equipment is designed to help those seniors with Alzheimer's Disease and any of the other types of dementia. We also serve parents, who have kids with Autism, Down Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome, traumatic brain injuries and other medical conditions that might cause a loved one to wander away from familiar surroundings. This equipment was not manufactured or intended for individuals without these conditions. We may ask you to provide documentation of your loved one's condition.
