A stranger finds them. One scan tells them what to do.
Print a QR code onto their clothing, bag, or bracelet. Whoever finds them sees the name they answer to, how to approach, and who to call — and you are told it happened.

Built for a moment of confusion
Wandering usually ends with a stranger asking "are you okay?" The page answers for them: this is Robert, he lives with dementia, here is his daughter Dana.
Say how to approach them
Write the words that actually work — speak slowly, stay beside him, mention the dog. Small details turn a frightening moment into a calm one.
You hear about it right away
The moment someone scans, we email you the approximate area the scan came from — and text you too if you have added a mobile number. Treat it as a hint about where to look, not a GPS fix.
Goes on the clothes they already wear
Iron-on labels, sewn-in tags, a lanyard, a wallet card, a sticker on the walker. Nothing to charge, remember, or resist wearing.
You choose what a stranger sees
Share a first name, how to help, and a phone number. Leave out the home address, date of birth, and medication list — anyone can scan a tag.
Change details without reprinting
New phone number, new care home, a different contact at weekends. Edit the page and every label already sewn in keeps working.

Questions
Is this a GPS tracker?
No, and that matters enough to say plainly. There is no chip, no battery, and no continuous location. The tag does nothing until a person with a phone points a camera at it — then the page opens and you get an alert with the rough area of that scan. It helps a found person get home; it cannot tell you where someone is right now.
What should I actually write on it?
The name they answer to, one plain line about why they may seem confused, how to approach and reassure them, and one tap-to-call contact. Leave off the home address, birth date, insurance numbers, and anything that signals the house is empty.
Will they accept wearing it?
Most families put it where it already lives — inside a jacket collar, on a favorite bag, a shirt hem tag, or the walker. It reads as a care label rather than a badge, and there is nothing to switch on. It works best as something agreed to together, not something added quietly.
Does it replace a medical alert bracelet?
No. Engraved jewelry can be read with no phone and no signal, so keep it if a condition is life-threatening. A QR page adds the context and contact details an engraving has no room for.
Can I take it down later?
Yes. Edit the page, re-point the code, or switch it off at any time, and the printed tag simply stops showing anything.
