Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS Community WEDNESDAY JULY A 1W7 The gift that could save a life For a family affected by Alzheimers disease, the holidays can be a time of added stress and confusion. Because of the increased activity at this time, people with Alzheimers disease are at a higher risk of wandering away from their homes or nursing facilities in search of something thats familiar and reassuring. For these families, the gift of enrollment in the Alzheimers Associations SAFE RETURN program is very timely, considerate and valu- nected to 17,000 law enforce- ment agencies nationwide. When an individual wanders away, family members or caregivers can call a toll-fre- e number to alert the computer network. When a missing person is found, the bracelet and other identifying materials provide the persons name, identification number and the toll-fre- e number to call so the family can be reunited. Enrollment in Safe Return is a gift of jewelry, and peace of mind, that is especially welcome during the holidays, Cotterill said. The associations more than 200 chapters nationwide can help families register in the program. Registration in Safe Return costs $25. The Utah Chapter will pay the one-tim- e registration fee for families for whom the fee is an obstacle to registration. For more information, contact the Utah Chapter at able.
