If a Stranger Comes to the Door...                                                         

• Stay alert to suspicious-looking couriers delivering packages to you or your neighbors.
• Many con artists take advantage of holiday generosity by going door-to-door. Ask for identification and get specifics to how and where the donations will be spent/used.
• If you feel uncomfortable, just say “no thank you” and shut the door.

 If You’re at Home…

• Turn on outside lights to deter burglars.
• Report any suspicious behavior to the police or local community watch groups.
• Make sure your homeowners (or renters) insurance is up-to-date and everything is inventoried properly.

Alzheimer's Association's Safe Return Program

            Alzheimer’s disease causes millions of Americans to lose their ability to recognize familiar places and face.  Many people cannot even remember their name or address. They may become disoriented and lost in their neighborhood or far from home. It is common for a person with Alzheimer’s disease to wander, many repeatedly, during the disease process.  This behavior can be dangerous, now during the winter months, even life-threatening.
          The Alzheimer’s Association’s Safe Return Program is the only nationwide program of its kind. Since the program began in 1993, nearly 110,000 individuals have registered in Safe Return nationwide. The program has facilitated the recovery of more than 8,000 individuals to their families and caregivers with an over 99% success in safely returning those registered in the program.
          Safe Return is a nationwide identification, support and registration program working at the community level.  Safe Return provides assistance whether a person becomes lost locally or far from home.  Assistance is available 24-hours, every day, whenever a person is lost or found.

            For more information, please call Safe Return at 1-888-572-8566 or the local Alzheimer’s Association chapter at (301) 942-2409, or click here.
