  • It may be winter, but not everyone is hunkering down for the season. The Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba (ASM) is offering a program called Minds in Motion for those with early or moderate signs of 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. Participating businesses and community locations display a "Safe Place" decal, indicating they are trained to assist these individuals if found wandering. The program not only offers peace of mind to families but also fosters community involvement in supporting those with dementia, enhancing safety and reducing the risks associated with wandering.
