Brief Description of Event
In honor of National Caregivers Day ReUnite is partnering with Zacharia Brown Elder Law Attorneys to discuss a FREE option to protect your loved who may be prone to wandering or becoming lost. The ReUnite Program Manager will discuss the importance of the scent kits for all seniors especially those with suffering from memory impairment such as Dementia and Alzheimer's prone to wandering, how to complete and store the kits, and what to do when you have a crisis where a loved one wanders off. Zacharia Brown Elder Law Attorneys will discuss how we assist caregivers and their loved ones with helping families access Medicaid benefits to pay for long term care in addition to providing caregivers with community resources and education. Attendees will be able to ask questions and meet with ReUnite and Zacharia Brown Attorneys following the event.
ReUnite is a community-based collaborative between United Way and law enforcement agencies in Lee, Hendry, and Glades Counties. It is offered free of charge for children and vulnerable adults who may be prone to wandering or becoming lost. ReUnite is a multi-layered program that incorporates the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit, drones, and a group of certified Bloodhounds – specifically designated for search and rescue operations. The primary objective is to reduce search time when an individual is reported missing by a caregiver. This program provides families with a free scent kit which will aid search and rescue operations by equipping them with critical information in the event the at-risk individual becomes lost.
