How does the Safe Return Program work?
The Safe Return Program is a national program that helps identify and return
people who “wander off” as a result of their Alzheimer’s
disease. Individuals are given identification tags, clothing labels, jewelry,
or wallet cards that have a toll-free number to the 24-hour emergency hotline.
The Safe Return hotline reunites the individual with their family members or
caregiver.
Contact the Central
Illinois Capter of the Alzheimer's Association to obtain
a copy of the registration form or to learn more about the
program. Their phone number is (217) 228-1111 and their
