Frequently asked questions

Why does a wandering safety plan matter?

Most people with dementia will wander at least once, and every minute counts in a search. A pre-written plan gives police and neighbors exactly what they need immediately, instead of you trying to recall details under stress.

What should I do right now if my loved one goes missing?

Call your local emergency number immediately — do not wait 24 hours. Then use your printed safety sheet to brief police and enlist neighbors while you search likely destinations nearby.

Is the safety plan really free?

Yes. Building, saving, printing, and updating your plan is included with a free mementio.care account.

Can I share this with neighbors before anything happens?

Yes — that's the point. Print a copy for close neighbors so they recognize your loved one and know who to call if they see them wandering alone.
