What to do if your elderly relative goes missing

Imagine discovering one day that your elderly parent or relative has wandered off or gone missing. Such incidents frequently appear on our social media feed, in our chat messages, and in the media, sparking widespread public concern. We speak to a family member whose elderly father, Robert Low, had recently gone missing; and then check in with a consultant geriatrician to learn how to prevent such crisis situations.
