- Six in 10 people with dementia wander away from their homes. A person with Alzheimer’s may not remember his/her name or address, and can become disoriented even in familiar places.
- It is important to ensure that the person carries some form of identification in case they do get lost.
- The most appropriate form of identification is a personalized bracelet with contact details of the family caregiver.
- Lanka Alzheimer’s foundation has bracelets for a nominal cost. These are tough yet supple with rounded edges to protect sensitive skin, hypo-allergenic, water and sweat resistant and can be customized with contact information.
