"If not found within 24 hours, up to half of wandering seniors with dementia suffer serious injury or death." This is a useless statement. "Up to half" could also be as low as zero. 50.46.182.184 (talk) 04:11, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

"in order to aid in their recovery"

Unfortunate wording. As far as I know, there is no recovering from typical afflictions in the category "Alzheimer's disease, dementia or other mental disabilities"; when I read "recovery" in a sentence which mentions ailments, I most easily understand it to refer to recovery from the ailment(s).
