The Senior Resource Alliance Area Agency on Aging of Central Florida, Inc. has been awarded a $150,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program (CFDA 16.015). The grant will fund the "Bringing the Lost Home" project, which aims to establish and operate a holistic, proactive program to locate or prevent the wandering of individuals with forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, or developmental disabilities, such as autism. The project will assist local emergency personnel in improving search performance for missing residents, particularly those prone to wandering, using non-restrictive interventions. The grant funding will be used to implement technologies, develop training programs, and conduct public awareness campaigns to reduce deaths and injuries of individuals who wander from safe environments. The project period is from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2026.
