MedicAlert Foundation® provides protection through a national emergency response service for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia who wander or have a medical emergency.

We have updated The MedicAlert®NYC Wanderer’s Safety Program service to better serve you. Many people with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia wander from their home or from afar. It is very important for a caregiver to make sure the person they care for always has some form of identification on them.

In partnership with the MedicAlert Foundation we are now offering you the protection you need to have peace of mind, the MedicAlert NYC Wanderer’s Safety Program Annual Advantage Membership Plan Program.

What happens to the person with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia if you have an emergency and are unable to be there for them?

You can have a separate Advantage Membership Plan with your medical information for an additional cost. Your membership will be linked to the member's information in the event of an emergency. We will be able to contact the people you designate to step in and help until you are able to care again.

The MedicAlert® NYC Wanderer's Safety program is funded in part by a generous grant from the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation, Inc.
