And while patients who have memory disorders don't frequently wander off from long-term care facilities, it can happen. And many people who have memory impairments also have other medical needs. In an emergency, time is of the essence.
Caregivers can pick up forms to register for the program at the kickoff.
Forms detail addresses, medical conditions and physical descriptions of patients. The Alzheimer's Association of the Texas Panhandle will receive a copy of the form as will Amarillo or Canyon police departments. The police departments will assign a number to each individual. Barnes Jewelers will engrave the numbers on silver bracelets, along with a first name and a few other details. Upon completion, Leadership volunteers will deliver the bracelets to families and request a photo of the patient to be filed with the police departments.
