Plan.”
TAKE ME HOME PROGRAM
According to the Alzheimer’s Association,
about six out of 10 people living with dementia
will wander away from their homes.
As the development of the disease continues,
it can become increasingly diffi cult,
and potentially impossible, for the person
to fi nd his or her way home. Many children
with autism may also wander. Th at’s why
the Wake Forest Police Department (WFPD)
has implemented a program designed to
help offi cers fi nd and safely return home
people with disabilities as quickly as possible
when they wander away from their
families or caregivers.
Th e Take Me Home initiative is designed to
protect Wake Forest children, adults, and
the elderly with disabilities, such as autism,
Down syndrome, or Alzheimer’s and other
dementia disorders, who go missing and
may be unable to communicate who they
are and where they live.
Th e program is a free, voluntary, and confi
dential database off ered, managed, and
maintained by Wake Forest police for Wake
Forest residents. It is only accessible to law
enforcement via the WFPD.
Enrollment is easy. Caregivers can register
family members with special needs by completing
the online form. To learn more,
visit wakeforestnc.gov and search “Take
Me Home.”
