As more older adults develop dementia and alzheimers, wandering becomes a big issue for caregivers. But, families and friends of the aging can take heart as a program started to help locate missing children is now being used successfully for aging seniors prone to wandering or confusion.

The kit includes fingerprints, a picture, contact information, and images of the person walking and talking for better identification.
