Nursing Homes

Canada's population is aging rapidly. According to a Statistics Canada 2001 report, the number of people age 65 and over is expected to double from nearly 4 million in 2000 to almost 8 million by 2026. By 2016 at the latest, Canada will have far more seniors than children aged 14 and under, a phenomenon never before recorded. The most rapidly growing age group, however, will be those over 80. With Alzheimer’s currently affecting 450,000 Canadians and growing, the Amber Alert GPS Global Monitoring System can provide organized caregivers a valuable tool to ensure wanderers are monitored at all times and alerts are sent when geographic boundaries are broken. The system will provide the valuable peace of mind to families having to make that difficult decision of transitioning their loved ones into a resting home or retirement facility.
