Canadian Guideline for Safe Wandering

  • Canada’s population is continuing to age.  As more people grow older, there will be more cases of missing persons among those living with dementia.
  • We developed an interactive website that offers strategies to: 1) promotesafe walking and, 2) manage the risk of getting lost. This website is based on the Canadian Guideline for Safe Wandering, created by Noelannah Neubauer and Lili Liu. The Guideline was informed by the literature review and interviews with persons living with dementia, care partners, health professionals, researchers, Alzheimer’s societies, and police organizations.
  • Access the interactive website here.
  • Further information about the interactive website can be found in a webstory published by AGE-WELL.
