George Herbert was a decorated World War 2 veteran of the Normandy landings who lived with dementia. He frequently wandered off from his care home and the Police would search for him. The Police then helped to develop a protocol in 2011 to help missing dementia patients get back to safety.
Unfortunately George died whilst ‘missing’ trying to find his childhood home.
In 2015 the Herbert Protocol then extended to individuals living in their homes with dementia.
