Return Home Registry Program

Loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other disabilities, are at great risk to wander from home. In New England, weather conditions are hazardous much of the year. It is critical that public safety is in a position to respond quickly. The Uxbridge Senior Center in partnership with the Uxbridge Police Department facilitiates the safe return of our residents. This Program will set up a database for the Uxbridge Police Department to utilize if a resident wanders off from their residence. First responders will reconnect residents with their families who experience a medical emergency or have wandered.

Both young and older residents who have the tendency or possibility to wander are eligible to enroll. By registering, first responders have access to the patient’s profile, which contains medical conditions, allergies, medications taken, mobility issues, locations frequented, and other important information. Dispatch will relay this information to first responders to enable fast, accurate care. Enroll by either registering on-line at https://bit.ly/ uxbridgereturn, fill out the paper form, or call for assistance at 508-278-8622.
