Once upon a time I met with a sheriff that arrived on the scene minutes before I did to recover my wanderer. He didn’t understand my nonchalant comment about my “escapee”. His immediate response was to assume I had kidnapped the elderly man. Oh boy!
Your heart lurches, your mind instantly jumps to where they could be when you discover that your patient or loved one is not where they should be. Outsiders that do not have this responsibility for another life cannot hope to understand the emotions or situational circumstances of a “lost” person.
The GeoTrek website is a B2C type of E-Commerce site. This site is designed to sell direct to you the consumer. In years past as both a family member and caretaker of loved ones and patients that need continually monitoring from wandering, GeoTrek has been created to protect these special relatives and patients.
They do not know that they are special people that require a special degree of care. They have cared for others and now require care for themselves; that’s the purpose of GeoTrek.
The elderly man was my father in the last year of his life, a perpetual “wanderer” that I was the primary caretaker of, common was the day that I jumped out of dead sleep at 6am to chase down where he walked off to.
Meeting the patient or loved one in the path they are on, giving care that means you know where your loved one is, this is GeoTrek. With GeoTrek, I could have had an alarm that my loved one was outside his geofence area, I could have seen him on a map and driven exactly to where he was, 911 services would not have been activated, the patient dignity intact and my stress abated. This is the purpose of GeoTrek and the reason this product is important to patient, caretaker and loved ones.
