Woodford County EMA encouraging people with dementia to use Care Trak

Aired August 6, 2024 - The Woodford County Emergency Management Agency is spreading the word about the Care Trak system.
It helps the agency track those with dementia, should they disappear. The device bridges the gap for those with dementia who still have some independence and their families aren’t quite ready for them to go to a senior living center.
People with special needs like autism or down syndrome can also use the device.
According to Woodford EMA, it takes about $350 to get someone enrolled and the proper equipment. However, the program runs on donations making it free of charge for the participant.
To sign-up or donate contact the sheriff’s department at 309-467-2375 or Woodford EMA at 309-923-6611.
