The Take Me Home Program was designed for the safe return of loved ones who may have difficulty communicating or may need special assistance during an emergency situation. This kind of assistance may be needed if the person is unable to speak or properly identify themselves, or if they become disoriented or act in a manner that could be misinterpreted by first responders.
If a person registered in the system is encountered by a police officer, the officer can query the database searching by name, physical description or unique characteristics. Once their record has been located the officer has the information at-hand to appropriately assist the person.
This program is for individuals with autism, Down syndrome, developmental or cognitive challenges. It is also intended to assist those who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's.
