OUR MISSION/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION


PBS NEWS HOUR INTERVIEW WITH SAFELY BACK HOME PAUL JETTER EXPLAINS HOW THE
PROGRAM BEGAN WITH HIS FATHER WHO HAD DEMENTIA.


OUR MISSION

To provide an additional layer of protection for children and adults who wander
due to Autism, Alzheimer’s and other cognitive challenges. Our goal is to
provide parents and caregivers with additional peace of mind


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Safely Back Home’s program was developed in response to a need to provide
assistance to individuals with Autism, Alzheimer’s and other cognitive
challenges who are incapable of providing identifying information in situations
where they become lost. The imprinted garment alerts the public and police that
the individual may need more assistance than they initially realize.

The patent-pending process uses “privacy-protected” ID information imprinted on
personal garments to be conveyed to an emergency call center, secure database
and rescue operation.

HOW THE SAFELY BACK HOME PROGRAM WORKS


MEET THE FOUNDER

Paul Jetter is the creator and founder of Safely Back Home™, providing
additional peace of mind to families and caregivers of people who wander.

Paul’s passion started through his own experience with his father, who had
dementia, and whose family became his father’s caregivers. Paul created the
patent-pending process that uses ID information imprinted on the personal
garments to be conveyed to an emergency call center, secure database and rescue
operation.

WORDS FROM FAMILIES IN THE SAFELY BACK HOME PROGRAM

“For a long time I was looking for a way to be able to find my sons in case they
are lost or separated from their care giver (which happened a few times). The
printed garment idea, developed by Safely Back Home, is a great way to protect
your family member. I would recommend everyone to take advantage of this
service. Paul and his crew were tremendously helpful and friendly when we
attended their event, and had our T-Shirts printed in no time. Thank you! ”

Anat Klebanov

“Thank you so much for offering the Safely Back Home event providing free
imprints of my phone number and your logo on my son Dillon's clothing. I feel
much safer with this information on his clothing. I appreciate your kindness,
generosity and patience. Thanks again,”
