Having experienced "The Great Escape" in 1996 after my 87-year old father with Alzheimer's disappeared from the nursing home, this book covers everything, including steps to take when your loved one is missing. I urge every enforcement agency to use copies of this book in training; especially, how to approach and talk with a person with dementia. Family caregivers need to complete this workbook and hope they never have to use it. Completing it does provide a wonderful detailed history of our loved ones.
