If a person with dementia goes missing, stay calm and search their home and yard first, checking closets, under beds, and unusual hiding spots. Then call 911 immediately, providing their name, physical description, last known location, and any wandering patterns. Notify neighbors and local businesses, and check nearby parks, bus stops, and familiar places they might remember. Keep a recent photo and medical details handy, and never wait to report them missing—early action saves lives.
