Find My Home
Find My Home is a program for people who need special assistance if they are alone or lost and are unable to speak or properly identify themselves. The program was originally geared toward people suffering from dementia, or have had a stroke, or other similar health issues that make it difficult or impossible for them to properly identify themselves. Find My Home has since expanded to include children with intellectual or cognitive disabilities, or those on the autism spectrum who are non-communicative. The program utilizes a current photo of the individual along with demographic and caregiver information.
How Does the Program Work?
The Find My Home database is searchable by name, address, and physical characteristics, which assists officers when they find a person who needs help and in the event caregivers alert police they need help locating their loved one. When a caregiver alerts police they need assistance, a description and photo of their loved one is distributed to all officers as quickly as possible. Officers also receive any important information caregivers include on the Find My Home application about their loved one’s care and how to interact with them.
How Do I Enroll My Loved One?
Find My Home is free and is exclusively for Corinth and Shady Shores residents. You can either register online, or by stopping at the Corinth Police Department at 3501 FM 2181, Suite A and filling out an application. To complete registration, the applicant must provide a recent photo of the person they are wishing to enroll in the program.
Enrollment expires after two years, so please continue to update the loved one’s status every two years, or any time there is a change in health or appearance to keep the information accurate.
