The CareTracker 100 is a basic personal location device, not much larger in size than a Tic Tac® dispenser. The CareTracker 100 offers personal tracking, pre-set safety zones, email and text alert notifications, and SOS features. It can be clipped to the senior’s belt or worn comfortably around the neck as a pendant, or carried in the pocket of his or her clothing.
Happy@Home Says
This is a nice little device for tracking both adults and children. It is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. In our testing, the battery lasted 7 days (although we recommend more frequent charging). And, in our travels around San Diego County, we found the reporting of the device to be accurate, even where cell phone connectivity is not that great.
Essential Info
The CareTracker system allows family members or professionals to designate up to five “safety zones” where a senior in their care can move about freely without the necessity of direct supervision. These pre-determined safety zones could be the senior’s home, assisted living facility, community center, neighborhood park, or generally any geographic area family members or professional caregivers deem permissible.
Every half-hour, the CareTracker system generates a report detailing the senior’s location at 10-minute intervals, and illustrated on a Google® map. Family members or professional caregivers can access the CareTracker system map online from a computer, iPhone®, or smartphone. Each time the senior wearing the device passes outside the defined safety zone, the caregiver and up to four other “buddies” are notified by email and text message that the safety zone has been breached. A safety zone breach may be an early indication that the senior has wandered off, or become lost or disoriented.
MainStreet MD’s Emergency Response Center
In the event of a senior becoming lost or wandering outside the designated safety zone, MainStreet MD’s Emergency Response Center can be notified in two ways. A family member or professional caregiver may call the MainStreet MD 800 number, or the person wearing the device can push the CareTracker SOS button. A concerned person who locates the senior may also be press the CareTracker SOS button, which is located on the left-hand side for the CareTracker 100.
MainStreet MD recognizes that in the event of a senior’s elopement, family and professional caregivers want to actively participate in search procedures. They don’t want to stand idle during the anxious and often critical passing minutes—waiting, and waiting—until local police and emergency personnel arrive on the scene. That being the case, when the CareTracker SOS button is pressed, all people on the “Buddy List” are notified through email and text that an emergency has occurred.
Once MainStreet MD receives the emergency notification, the reporting frequency is increased to real-time. MainStreet MD utilizes the first responder database of the Department of Homeland Security, which comprises every local police, fire and rescue agency in every community in the US, Canada and Mexico. The MainStreet MD Emergency Response Center calls the local first responders and provides the location of the individual, remaining on the line with emergency personnel until the missing person is found. If the local responders are equipped with computers in their vehicles, MainStreet MD provides them with a link and password to the tracking map system so that they can derive real-time information simultaneously with the individuals on the senior’s “Buddy List.” In addition to North America and Mexico, the MainStreet MD system map is also operational in Europe.
