Fort Bend County MUD 149 (FB MUD 149) Board of Directors want residents to know about the Take Me Home Program.
Take Me Home™ is a database developed by the Pensacola Police Department for people who may need special assistance if they are alone or in times of emergency. This kind of assistance may be required if the person is unable to speak or properly identify themselves, or if they become disoriented or act in a manner that could be misinterpreted by first responders. The system includes a current digital picture, demographic information and caregiver contacts. If a person in the Take Me Home system is encountered by a police officer, the officer can query the Take Me Home system, searching by name or by the person’s physical description.
Who is eligible?
Fort Bend County residents with a cognitive impairment or disability that may affect their ability to communicate. Individuals that tend to be at risk for wandering may include people with disabilities such as Alzheimer's, Autism, Dementia, Down Syndrome etc. Individuals who do NOT qualify for enrollment include people with ONLY physical disabilities, hearing impairment, vision impairment, anyone who is able to communicate via translator/interpreter and children who have not reached a developmentally appropriate age for speech. We require anyone enrolling an individual/themselves be either a family member or legal guardian of the individual. How does it work?
