Safe Return Program The Alzheimer’s Association, New York City Chapter, received funding from the NYC City Council and Department for the Aging to increase enrollment in the Safe Return Program. Safe Return is a national identification program that assists community members and police officers in the safe and timely return of individuals with memory impairment who are lost. The program also provides education about wandering and support to families during a wandering event, along with care afterward. With the new funding, the Alzheimer’s Association is able to enroll 2,500 New Yorkers who have Alzheimer’s disease or a related memory disorder, free of charge. Enrollment over the phone is available in English, Spanish, and Russian at (212) 983-6906 x205. Applications can be downloaded from the Alzheimer's Association website. |
