Overview
MissingPatient.com Alert and ID is free for anyone with a cognitive disorder such as dementia, Autism, Alzheimer's, Aspergers Syndrome, and Down's Syndrome.
By signing up, police and emergency hospitals are provided with ready access to your loved one’s information. This information (which you submit personally, including their age and a photograph) is kept as private – only the police and emergency hospitals will be able to access it. In the event your loved ones wander or are found without identification, correlating the information and contacting you becomes a smooth process.
No one thinks it can happen to them until it does.
Statistically speaking, about sixty percent of those with dementia wander away at some point. Unfortunately, fifty percent of those who wander and who are not located within 24 hours are deceased. This service provides a valuable solution for minimizing such a risk.
