What is Mattie's Call?

Mattie’s Call is specifically designed as an alert system to locate missing persons, particularly those suffering from cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease. This initiative acknowledges the unique vulnerabilities associated with these conditions, where individuals may wander off, become disoriented, or be unable to communicate their whereabouts.

The system engages law enforcement and the community to quickly disseminate information regarding the missing person, leveraging partnerships and resources to increase the likelihood of a safe recovery. The focus on individuals with Alzheimer’s highlights the importance of timely intervention in cases where cognitive decline can lead to potentially dangerous situations for both the person and the community.

Other alert systems exist for different demographics, but Mattie's Call is uniquely tailored to address the needs and risks associated with missing individuals who have cognitive challenges.
