About Safe Return: Rescue Control
Your loved one wandered. We bring them home.
Safe Return watches over your family member with dementia — and alerts you the moment they leave home. If they're not found in 15 minutes, we call for help automatically.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Put a cellular smartwatch on their wrist (Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch)
2. Set their home location in the app
3. Safe Return monitors 9 sensors continuously — GPS, WiFi, heart rate, fall detection, speed, direction, wrist status, battery, and time of day
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Unlike simple GPS trackers that show a dot on a map, Safe Return answers the questions that matter in a crisis:
• Where are they heading? — Speed and direction tracking
• What's in their path? — Real terrain-aware probability zones based on search-and-rescue science
• How much time is left? — Automatic 15-minute escalation to emergency contacts
5-LEVEL DEFCON ALERT SYSTEM
Safe Return continuously scores risk using a military-inspired DEFCON system:
• DEFCON 5 (SAFE) — Home, quiet monitoring
• DEFCON 4 (ADVISORY) — Left home WiFi, GPS active
• DEFCON 3 (CAUTION) — Elevated risk, caregiver alerted
• DEFCON 2 (EMERGENCY) — Moving fast or far, emergency contacts notified
• DEFCON 1 (CRITICAL) — Full rescue mode, siren active, live location shared
KEY FEATURES
• WiFi departure detection — alerts in seconds, not minutes
• Nighttime sundowning detection — 1.8x risk multiplier after dark
• Automatic EMS escalation — if not found in 15 minutes
• Emergency contact broadcast — SMS with live location to your contact list
• Mission history & analytics — track patterns, identify risk trends
• Heatmap visualization — see where incidents cluster
• Up to 3 family members on one Pro plan
• Works in 12 languages
BUILT BY A CAREGIVER
This app was built after 15 years of direct dementia caregiving. It was born from a real 2 AM crisis — an empty bed and a GPS dot that couldn't tell you which direction they were heading or that there was a river 300 meters east.
Safe Return was built to answer what a standard tracker cannot.
FOR MEMORY CARE FACILITIES
Safe Return also offers an institutional tier for memory care and assisted living facilities with role-based staff access, automatic incident logging, and audit trails. Visit safereturn.care/facilities for details.
