Coming Soon to Mokena, IL ...

"Rapid Recovery" Service

for Residents with

Special Medical Conditions

The Village Board of Mokena, IL recently approved a new service for its residents with special medical conditions such as Down Syndrome, Alzheimer's, neurological disorders, and other disorienting health conditions that would cause them to wander off or become lost.

Scheduled to start soon, the Rapid Recovery Service will be offered to all Village of Mokena residents FREE of charge.

Specifics regarding the new Village program will be released over the next few months. Mayor Joe Warner and the Mokena Village Board members ask that residents "stay tuned" to the Village website, www.mokena.org, for further information regarding this service coming soon.

The Rapid Recovery Service will help the participating Village of Mokena residents like this:

The participant is issued a personal tracking device, roughly the size of a wristwatch. The device emits a continual silent signal that can be tracked.
The device is worn around the clock. It's water-resistant and operates on a battery.
The device is worn around the participant's ankle or wrist.
The device is removed by a caregiver periodically for a battery check and service.
Should the wearer of the device go missing, Rapid Recovery Service search teams deploy with tracking equipment.
A participant MUST be under the continuous supervision of a caregiver.
The participant MUST suffer from a qualifying medical condition.

Statistics have proven that most missing participants in the Rapid Recovery Service program are found within 30 minutes or less. That has enabled the greater majority of missing persons to be recovered safely and physically unharmed.

Again, the Mokena Village leaders ask that Village of Mokena residents interested in participating in the newly-approved Rapid Recovery Service, watch for further specific information ... via their Village website ... regarding the actual launch of this program in the upcoming months.

Thanks, Dorie! I've seen similar programs offered elsewhere throughout Chicagoland ... and that's great news for area families. I suspect that this program will be fairly mainstream at some point in the future. Until then, it's an offering and service that's good for agents to know about, should they have a family with concerns of these types ...

Robert: You're right ... for families that are spread-out across an area or our country, this can be peace of mind. Whether a senior ... or someone with other health concerns ...

Just the fact that missing persons are found in 30 minutes or less when this program is used is great. I have heard of missing elderly people being gone for days before they were found!

Aug 27, 2012 08:46 AM

I so agree, Margaret. 30 minutes or less is an amazing recovery time. Certainly lessens the anxiety of the family involved, not to mention the missing person themselves. I'm proud to see that Mokena is going to be offering this fantastic service to its residents ...

Gene, Considering how many cases of people wandering off and being found many states away makes this program a nice solution for those willing to participate.

Emmary: I've read of this program being available in other areas too ... so you might want to check and see if it's available nearby ... or make the suggestion to your community. Now THERE'S a great blog! Realtor Brings Rapid Recovery to HER Community!!

Ed: Thanks so much! Appreciate the good luck sent my way ...

I agree, Susan. And that might be the best gift they can receive ...

Linda: The good news is ... when one LW community starts a program, they typically share the idea with the others. I suspect we will see that all the LWHS towns soon have this service ... Great to hear from you! The Sanctuary Pointe Subdivision looks great and is filling in fast ... Hartz (and you) did a great job!

Aug 28, 2012 01:57 AM

BLiz: Definitely! I'm hoping that this program becomes a staple of every community ...

I'm thinking that I need one of these so my husband can keep track of me. I can get lost in my own living room, especially if I'm wandering about and chatting on my bluetooth, staring at the floor and pacing. If the door was open, I'd probably wander off and not come back.

You sound like my wife, Elizabeth ... she says much the same. Perhaps the both of you have too much on your mind?? To my wife's defense, living with ME can't be easy ...
