Multilingual information

Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders that cause dementia know no boundaries. Many individuals and families in ethnic and cultural minority groups are in need of solid information about Alzheimer’s disease and health resources.

 

The MedicAlert® + Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return® alliance, launched Nov. 1, 2007, provides a 24-hour nationwide emergency response service for individuals with Alzheimer’s or related dementia who wander or who have a medical emergency. The MedicAlert alliance enhances the resources of Safe Return, which assists in the safe and timely return of memory-impaired individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias who wander and become lost.

Please call for more details- (801) 265-1944.
