You hear Amber Alerts all the time, but where is a Silver Alert? So many seniors with dementia still live in their homes with loved ones. When a senior goes missing, a day or two later you get a post on Facebook! Why don't we have an alert? They've been talking about it for years, but so far nothing!!!!
When a family member was starting to lose his memory, we were worried about him not only living alone and falling, but he'd go out and not know where he was! He would phone a loved one and that was frightening. Telus has a Life Link with a GPS. If a senior falls they will call someone on the file. If you are wondering where the person is, there is an app, three people are able to access. It gives you an EXACT location! Cost $56.00 a month, well worth it.
This senior was a school teacher. He is missing in the city I live in. He didn't live close to me but they've found him on cameras and they know his last known sighting. It was over a week ago!!!! I hope he's found safe:
