Uses state-of-the art technology in assisting those who care for victims of Alzheimer's and other Related Mental Dysfunctional Disorders (ARMD) and victims who become lost. These victims include the elderly and even the youngest in our community who are afflicted with Down syndrome, Autism or developmental disorders. The Project Lifesaver program places personalized radio transmitters on identified persons with ARMD who may wander away from the safety of their homes. These transmitters assist caregivers and Richland County Sheriff's Officers in locating those who cannot help themselves. Funding for Project Lifesaver is a result of private ad corporate donations and grants. Since Project Lifesaver is comprised of mainly volunteers, donations are used directly for programs, rescues and equipment needed by the user. Richland County Project Lifesaver has been developed in cooperation with eight Lions Clubs (Bellville, Butler, Butler Lioness, Lucas, Madison, Ontario, Mansfield Noon, and Plymouth); Richland County Sheriff's Office, Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, and the Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorder Association, Inc. - Northwest Ohio Chapter.

By forming partnerships with local law enforcement and public safety organizations, Project Lifesaver deploys specially trained teams with the most reliable technology available to quickly locate and return wandering adults and children to their families and caregivers. Project Lifesaver relies on proven radio technology and a specially trained search and rescue team. Clients that are enrolled in the Project Lifesaver program wear a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal. When caregivers notify the local Project Lifesaver agency that the person is missing, a search and rescue team responds to the wanderer's area and starts searching with the mobile locater tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. In over 1500 searches, there have been no reported serious injuries or deaths. Recovery times average less than 30 minutes. The system was designed to help individuals who have wandering tendencies such as those with autism, developmental disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
