Alzheimer's Association Comfort Zone Check-In™, powered by Omnilink

In 2009, Omnilink Systems and the Alzheimer's Association jointly launched Alzheimer's Association Comfort Zone®, powered by Omnilink is a unique solution intended to provide individuals with Alzheimer's the opportunity to maintain their independence and enjoy the security of familiar routines and surroundings. The Comfort Zone® solution combines dedicated tracking devices with specific service plans in order to provide families and caregivers with a continuous stream of location information in order to help ensure an individual remains at safe locations when necessary or to help return an individual safely if they happen to wander.

The Comfort Zone® solution also includes enrollment in the MedicAlert® + Alzheimer's Association Safe Return® program, a nationwide 24x7 jewelry identifciation program and emergency response service for those with medical and wandering emergencies.

In order to provide families and caregivers with the broadest range of solutions possible, Omnilink and the Alzheimer's Association have also launched Comfort Zone Check-In™, a unique extension of the Comfort Zone® solution. With Comfort Zone Check-In, users create a more tailored tracking program by scheduling each location request or finding the individual with Alzheimer's when necessary using a web-based application. Unlike Comfort Zone®, devices are not located on a set schedule (eg. every 15 or 30 minutes).

The key differences included in the Comfort Zone Check-In solution include:

• The ability to locate any Sprint phone that has an active service plan
• Scheduling of location requests to automate the process of locating a device
• Notifications of a device's location by email or text following the successful completion of a schedule location request
• Lower priced, on-demand only rate plans that track individuals only when the caregiver chooses instead of on a continuous schedule
• The ability to track many different devices using a single account
