How MedicAlert + Safe Return works:
If a person with Alzheimer's or related 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 (800) 625-3780 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.
Benefits of MedicAlert + Safe Return membership: Provides you peace of mind; Provides vital medical information to emergency responders; Live 24-hour emergency response service for wandering and medical emergencies; 24-hour family notification service; 24-hour care consultation services provided by master's level counselors.
