"People with Alzheimer's Disease sometimes lose the ability to recognize familiar
places, to communicate or to remember their own name or address. They may leave home, become confused and get lost.
This can be dangerous for people with the disease and worrisome for caregivers. But there is help. Safely Home
is a nationwide program designed to help find the person who is lost and assist in a safe return home. Developed by
the Alzheimer Society of Canada in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a registry stores vital information
confidentially on a police database. The information can be accessed by police anywhere in Canada and the United States."
(Source - Pamphlet entitled Safely Home) Registration for Safely Home is voluntary. For a one time fee of $35, the registrant will receive an identification
bracelet and an identification card. Contact the Alzheimer Society of Kenora/Rainy River Districts for more information or to register your loved one
for the Safely Home program.
