		<description><![CDATA[Well, we finally did it.   You, the agencies, members, caregivers, families, and supporters of Project Lifesaver, encouraged us to look into different, emerging technologies that were available to help those with cognitive conditions who wander.  And so, with your support, we decided to test and evaluate newer technologies that have been becoming available.

 

As you know, we’ve stayed true to our mission over the years:  help save lives and bring loved ones home.   After many testings, trainings, and meetings, we have officially decided to offer EmFinders as another technology available under the Project Lifesaver program.   EmFinders offers specific advantages to agencies – minimal upfront cost, no additional equipment needed for the agency, and reliable, wireless cellular coverage.

		<description><![CDATA[Aug. 29--BOONEVILLE -- Some 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's -- a brain-damaging disease that gradually robs its victims of mental and physical acuity.

Unless dramatic medical breakthroughs provide cures or preventives, 7.7 million are expected to have the disease by 2030, when all baby boomers will be at least 66 years old.

Alzheimer's -- the most common of several related dementias -- costs the nation an estimated $172 billion each year, and it is the seventh-leading cause of death for Americans -- the fourth for those over age 65.

		<description><![CDATA[NORFOLK - Recent searches for two missing Alzheimer's patients in Virginia Beach show just how hard it can be to track down a missing loved one.

Mary Butts disappeared from her home last month on the hottest day of the year. She was missing for five days before someone found her, dehydrated and sunburned, lying in a ditch.

Just yesterday, 63-year-old James Brandon vanished from his Virginia Beach apartment. He was found in Portsmouth overnight.

		<description><![CDATA[VIRGINIA BEACH -- "Physically, she's strong. She's very fatigued and tired," says Terry Allred of her mother, Eileen Butts. "As far as being able to walk, you know, she's doing fine with that."

79-year-old Butts returned to her home in King's Grant Thursday after spending several days in the hospital.

The Alzheimer's patient wandered off from her house July 25 looking for flowers. That search triggered another one when Butts never returned.
