Medic Alert + Safe Return
Enroll individuals with
Alzheimer's or dementia into
MedicAlert + Safe Return
In a move to significantly improve the safety of individuals with Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association and the MedicAlert Foundation have created an alliance to bring you MedicAlert® + Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return®.
MedicAlert + Safe Return offers you the best of both worlds:
How MedicAlert +
Safe Return works
When a person with dementia wanders or becomes lost, one call immediately activates a community support network to help reunite the lost person with his or her caregiver. When a person is found, a citizen or law official calls the toll-free
24-hour emergency response number
on the identification product and the individual's family or caregivers are contacted. The nearest Alzheimer's Association office provides support during search and rescue efforts. In addition, should medical attention be required, access to a personal health record is immediately available.
