Toolkit

The University of Waterloo partnered with people living with dementia, care partners, service providers, and first responders to create a digital guide that offers information about the risks of becoming lost and going missing, as well as strategies to address these risks.  

This Toolkit is for people living with dementia, their care partners, and the community. The Toolkit as a collection of educational information, strategies, and case studies that can be tailored to each person’s unique situation.  

Please see our article, Free and Safe: Proactive strategies help maintain independence, published by Dementia Connections.
