According to the Alzheimer’s Organization, six in ten Alzheimer’s patients will wander from home and have trouble finding their way back. While GPS locators give caregivers some security, they can be taken off, lost or unreliable. The first thing to do if a loved one goes missing is call the police and give them the information  they need. With scent kits from Scent Evidence K9, police dog search teams have located missing persons with Alzheimer’s in as little as five minutes. Keeping a scent kit on hand adds an essential layer of protection when your loved one gets lost.

Eliminating Guesswork

ImagineScent Kits if your missing loved one left a trail of rope behind them — that’s the difference a scent kit makes. While unaided missing persons investigations use up precious time searching for and picking up clues, dog search teams led by guided bloodhounds trail directly to their targets. By using Scent Evidence K9 scent kits, the police managed to find one Alzheimer’s wanderer on a four-day-old trail. The gentleman had driven 26 miles — that’s the distance between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Advancing Alzheimer’s Care

In light of its tremendous success helping police locate missing seniors, Scent Evidence K9 was offered a partnership with the Dementia Care & Cure Initiative (DCCI) of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. The company’s CEO, Paul Coley, was even appointed to their Task Force, a group involved in extending the availability and quality of Alzheimer’s care nationwide. As a former FBI detective and experienced K9 trainer, Coley sought out to develop a new approach to search and rescue. Now, the scent kits he’s developed have become an essential piece of any Alzheimer’s care toolkit.

Your loved ones deserve the very best protection, and you just can’t beat a properly-guided bloodhound search team. Keep a scent kit on hand and get the extra assurance that they’ll be safe. Get yours today at Scent Evidence K9’s website or by calling (850) 272-6950.
