Safe Return

Alzheimer's disease causes millions of Americans to lose their ability to recognize familiar places and faces. They may become disoriented and lost in their neighborhood or far from home. Although common, this behavior can be dangerous, even life-threatening to individuals and stressful for caregivers.

There is help. The Alzheimer's Association Safe Return program assists in the safe return of individuals with Alzheimer's or a related dementia who wander and become lost.

Safe Return Assistance

Safe Return is a nationwide identification, support and registration program working at the community level. Assistance is available 24 hours, every day, whenever a person is lost or found.

When missing, Safe Return faxes the registrant's information and photo to local law enforcement. When found, a citizen or law official calls the 800 number and Safe Return notifies listed contacts.

Safe Return Identification
With $40 registration fee, you receive the following products*:

Engraved identification bracelet or necklace, iron-on clothing labels, key chain, lapel pin, refrigerator magnet, stickers, wallet cards and Caregiver Checklist.

For an additional $5, receive caregiver jewelry.* In an emergency, it alerts others that you provide care for a person registered in Safe Return.

*Identification products are sent to the physical address of the primary contact unless otherwise indicated.
