The Greater Georgia Alzheimer's Association has a great program called Safe Return. Safe Return is a nationwide identification system established to assist in the safe and timely return of individuals with Alzheimer's, or a related dementia, who wander and become lost. Safe Return provides assistance whether a person becomes lost locally or far from home. Identification jewelry is sent for the person with memory loss to wear. When the person with loss wanders and is found wearing the identification jewelry, the person who finds the lost person calls the 1-800 number, and the person is safely returned to their caregiver.
Registration is free to anyone living within the state of Georgia.
Free registration is for a limited time only, and only for the first 500 registrants. The free registration is only available when the registration form is returned directly to the Greater Georgia Chapter office. Find a recent photo and write your loved one's name on the back. The Safe Return jewelry should arrive at your home within approximately two to four weeks. It's normal to occasionally forget appointments, colleagues' names or a friend's phone number and remember them later.
