The 'Safely Home' database
The 'Safely Home' database is accessible by Police 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It includes a detailed description of the person with dementia, contact information, previous residential addresses and locations the person may visit. All details on the database are confidential.
How does it work?
When someone finds the lost person, they can simply look at the bracelet, telephone the police and quote the personal identification number. The police then make arrangements for the person to be returned safely home.
Carers can use 'Safely Home' to instigate a search for the person with dementia by contacting their local police station and filing a Missing Persons Report. The police initiate a search using information on the database.
'Safely Home' is ideal for carers in home situations and health professionals caring for people in aged care facilities.
