Program offers 'safe place' for Manitobans with dementia

The article from Steinbach Online discusses a program called "Safe Place," which is designed to provide a secure environment for Manitobans living with dementia. This initiative, supported by the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, aims to help individuals with dementia who might wander, ensuring they can be safely returned home. The program involves registering individuals with dementia into a database, which includes their personal information and emergency contacts.
