Local Resources

Project Lifesaver

Project Lifesaver is a program through the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office that is designed to protect, and when necessary, quickly locate individuals with cognitive disorders who are prone to the life threatening behavior of wandering. Our Project Lifesaver trained emergency team members are certified through training, using the radio technology provided in order to conduct search and rescue missions when needed.

We Have Your Number

We Have Your Number is free to community members. Dukes County Sheriff’s Office installs a reflective, easy-to-see building number sign at the residence of participants to increase visibility for first responders in case of emergency.

For either of these services, please contact Major Sterling Bisshop.

Dementia Friends

Dementia Friends USA is part of a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people affected by dementia.

By providing a Dementia Friends Information Session for your staff, you are helping the community better serve our neighbors. This free, one-hour training can be added to a staff meeting or planned as a special event at your convenience.

Please contact Mary Holmes, Dementia Friends champion, at maryh@mvcenter4living.org or 508-939-9440 to arrange a free session.
