Safer Walking (WandaTrak)

In partnership with the local Search and Rescue Team, Alzheimers Nelson Tasman manages the WanderSearch (WandaTrak) system. The pendant is a radio frequency transmitter that the client wears, these pendants are a valuable part of our service; they offer peace of mind to the carer knowing that if their family member wanders they will be located much faster.
