How the Safe Return Program works:
* First you have to enroll your family member and there is an enrollment fee. Call Safe Return at 1 800 --- -----
* The person with Alzheimer’s gets an identification bracelet, or necklace, and labels for clothing that have his name, address, telephone number, and the 1-800 number of the Safe Return Program on them.
* If the person with Alzheimer’s wanders off, police or anyone who finds him, will be able to contact you or the 1-800 number on his bracelet or clothing. While the Safe Return Program can’t keep your loved one from wandering, the program has an almost perfect record in helping return people with Alzheimer’s to their families when they have wandered.
