Alzheimer's
Association Safe Return Program
Established
in 1993, the Alzheimer's Association Safe Return Program
is the only nationwide program that assists in the identification
and safe, timely return of individuals with Alzheimer's
disease or other dementia who wander off and become
lost. The program now has over 54,000 registrants, reaching
its major milestone last year.
For
a one-time fee of $40, Safe Return Program registrants
receive a stainless steel identification bracelet or
necklace, clothing labels and wallet cards. These identification
products are inscribed with the Safe Return 24-hr crisis
number and alert others that the individual is memory-impaired
and may need assistance. To date, Safe Return has helped
locate and return more than 3,700 registrants to their
families and caregivers nationally.
For
more information on the Alzheimer's Association Safe
Return Program or Alzheimer's Disease, please call the
Alzheimer's Association at 800-273-3900 or visit http://www.atz.org.
