National KeepSafe™ Day of Remembrance

Many people living with Dementia elope their homes (leave undetected) - going somewhere with intent, and many lose their way. Each year, nearly 190,000 critical wandering events escalate to a professional search and rescue. Of those, almost 68,000 individuals living Dementia, are tragically never found or not found alive.

2 PM ET, to Remember & Reflect.
