Help A Person Home
Identification program
Alzheimer's Association
Problem
Six in 10 people with Alzheimer’s will wander, become confused and get lost, putting their lives at risk if not found in 24 hours. Safe Return® provides enrollment in a national identification program and ID jewelry. One phone call to our 800 Helpline activates a support community, including law enforcement, to find and return the individual home.
The Gift
Some families are so drained financially from the tremendous costs of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s that they cannot afford the $40 enrollment fee. Your scholarship enrollment gift will give the family peace of mind knowing that their loved one has identification and is registered with this national program. A typical response from a family member: “I didn’t even know my dad was gone. A Good Samaritan found him wandering in our neighborhood, saw his bracelet and called 911. I don’t know what would have happened if he wasn’t registered.”
