Helping Keep Loved Ones Safe

AngelSense offers support for families and caregivers

(Raritan Valley YMCA)

Caring for someone living with dementia or other cognitive challenges can bring concerns about safety and wandering. The AngelSense Program provides eligible families with GPS technology that can help caregivers locate loved ones and respond quickly in emergency situations.

This resource offers caregivers additional peace of mind while helping individuals maintain as much independence as possible. Families are encouraged to learn more about eligibility and available support through the Middlesex County Office of Aging & Disabled Services.
