Why the system is needed

Why the Safe Return Home system is needed

Peace of mind and safety are important concerns for all carers. The Safe Return Home program, developed by Applied Age Care Solutions (AACS), aims to help support families and carers by providing an efficient, secure, and up to date professional internet database service to facilitate the speedy recovery of lost or disorientated ’at risk’ people.

To gain some appreciation for the extent of this problem, it is estimated that up to 25% of all people with memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease are at risk of becoming lost or disorientated (Wandering and Dementia. Report to the Health Department of Victoria, Australia 1998).

The Safe Return Home system can be used by interested parties to help identify and locate missing people with memory loss, confusion and/or disorientation.
