A 66-year-old Iowa man with dementia went missing—but thanks to Project Lifesaver, he was found safe and sound within hours. Equipped with a high-tech tracking band that uses radio frequencies to pinpoint his location, rescuers located him near a highway path. His son, overwhelmed with worry when he reported him missing, called the program a lifesaver—literally—and praised its effectiveness. This isn’t an outlier: Council Bluffs Fire Department has helped 45 people this year through the initiative. It’s a powerful example of how tech can bring comfort and safety to families navigating dementia—and why programs like this are vital for our communities.
