Mattie's Call in Cobb County

On February 14, 2006, Cobb County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to adopt Mattie's Call as standard operating procedure in the event an elderly person with Alzheimer's or other form of dementia wanders away from their home. Cobb is the first county in the state of Georgia to adopt the Mattie's Call alert system.  Cobb Senior Services, Cobb County Sheriff, Cobb County Police, Cobb's cities, and other agencies will work with the Georgia Chapter of Alzheimer's Association to implement procedures for alerting the media and public about a missing elderly person with Alzheimer's or dementia.
