The National Silver Alert Program
Time is of the essence when individuals with Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders wander off or become lost.
Approximately 50% of those who wander away may suffer serious injury or death if not found within 24 hours.
The National Silver Alert Program was developed to provide vital information to authorities to assist in the search and safe recovery of these individuals, and quickly reunite them with their loved ones and/or caregivers.
The free, online registration program records vital health, personal, medical and caregiver information, as well as a photograph of each registered individual.
This information is stored in a secure, online database, where it can be accessed by emergency responders via the National Silver Alert call center's toll-free, emergency phone number.
This program is open to ALL senior citizens and individuals with Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders, regardless of age, who wish to have their vital health, personal, medical and caregiver information readily available in the event of an emergency.

November is National Alzheimer's Awareness Month
According to the National Institute of Mental Health:
AD affects an estimated 4.5 million Americans.
The number of Americans with AD has more than doubled since 1980.
AD is the most common cause of dementia among people age 65 and older.
Increasing age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s. In most people with AD, symptoms first appear after age 65. One in 10 individuals over 65 and nearly half of those over 85 are affected. Rare, inherited forms of Alzheimer’s disease can strike individuals as early as their 30s and 40s.
From the time of diagnosis, people with AD survive about half as long as those of similar age without dementia.
