Finding a senior citizen that went astray on a family outing!
It may not be very common to see a lost older adult, but what to do if it happens?
āļø Be calm, in the midst of despair people often do not think clearly.
āļø Going through the places where you have been together will help in this case.
āļø Ask relatives or other people for help, a bigger amount of people seeking can reach greater effectiveness.
āļø Call as many relatives as possible, maybe someone knows his/her location.
āļø If after exhausting all the options they are not successful, you should ask the corresponding authorities for help.
āļø Social networks are a great ally. Use them properly.
- When going out for a walk with an older adult, do not forget to make sure that he or she carries personal identification, information about any medical condition or urgent medical attention and the number of a responsible family member to contact in case of loss.
