A desperate search ensued after Miguel Rivera wandered away from his home on 110th Street in Richmond Hill on Wednesday just after 4:30 p.m.
Police described Rivera as having a light complexion, 5'8", 150lbs, thin build, brown eyes, short gray hair, gray goatee, and a missing front tooth.He is the father of a local DEA agent and Rivera's family was concerned that he could be somewhere outside during the incoming severe storm.The Alzheimer's Foundation of America offers these tips to prevent wandering.
Monitor and record the individual's wandering patterns-frequency, duration, time of day, etc. For example, if wandering occurs first thing in the morning, the person might be hungry; in the late afternoon or early evening, they might be experiencing "sundowning," if at night, the person may need to use the toilet.
Install electronic chimes or doorbells on doors so someone is alerted if the individual tries to exit.Utilize medical identification bracelets, necklaces, and tracking devices for monitoring If the individual resides in an assisted living or long-term care setting, provide familiar objects, such as family photographs, slippers and a quilt, to an individual living to make it feel like home.
