Alzheimer's Medical Alert Bracelets & Necklaces

The Bright Focus Foundation reports that at least 50 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. If you or a loved one are living with Alzheimer’s Disease or any other form of dementia, Alzheimer’s bracelets and necklaces from Lauren’s Hope are excellent tools that can help first responders and Good Samaritans provide efficient assistance during medical emergencies.

An Alzheimer's medical alert bracelet may also be helpful during incidences of wandering, which the Alzheimer’s Association estimates occurs with at least six in ten people with Alzheimer’s. Gain peace of mind knowing that your loved one is wearing a custom-engraved Alzheimer’s necklace or bracelet, keeping their identification and emergency contact information close at hand should the need arise.

The Importance of Alzheimer’s ID Bracelets & Necklaces

The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, impacts more than 10% of Americans 65 and older. According to the Alzheimer’s Association:

“Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years….As Alzheimer's advances through the brain it leads to increasingly severe symptoms, including disorientation, mood and behavior changes; deepening confusion about events, time and place; unfounded suspicions about family, friends and professional caregivers; more serious memory loss and behavior changes; and difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking.”

These symptoms make wearing an Alzheimer's ID bracelet or necklace particularly important. The National Institute on Aging (part of the NIH) recommends that anyone with Alzheimer’s,

“...wears a medical bracelet. If the person gets lost and can’t communicate clearly, an ID will let others know about his or her illness. It also shows where the person lives.”

Reasons Why Alzheimer’s Bracelets Are Essential

Daily Protection: Custom-engraved Alzheimer’s bracelets or necklaces provide daily protection and a safe return if someone becomes lost or disoriented.
Peace of Mind: Families and caregivers gain peace of mind knowing that their loved one’s emergency contacts are always right at hand.
Efficient Emergency Response: Emergency responders can use an Alzheimer’s medical alert bracelet to quickly determine that their patient has this form of dementia, helping avoid unnecessary tests and providing the means to contact caregivers or loved ones quickly.

What to Include on an Alzheimer’s ID Bracelet or Necklace

Alzheimer's disease - What to engrave on your alzheimer's medical ID

When someone wears an Alzheimer’s medical ID bracelet, it is engraved with their name, Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and emergency contact information. Some people also choose to engrave the wearer’s physical address due to the risk of wandering.

With custom engraving available, an Alzheimer’s alert can be engraved with additional medical conditions, allergies, medications, and treatment restrictions. Alzheimer’s medical ID jewelry serves the purpose of communicating the wearer’s identity and Alzheimer’s diagnosis while also making the wearer’s other medical needs available to medical personnel at all times.

Lauren’s Hope Personalized Alzheimer's Bracelets

People often ask about unremovable IDs or bracelets that can be locked in some way. Such medical alerts can pose a safety hazard and make it hard to access key information in an emergency. It is best to choose a medic alert for dementia or Alzheimer’s that simply has an integrated or otherwise non-obvious clasp to discourage removal without making it unduly difficult.

Sometimes, a person may prefer to wear an Alzheimer’s ID bracelet that feels more like a bracelet they would wear simply as a piece of jewelry. This is where our stylish chains really stand out.

Lauren’s Hope Personalized Alzheimer's Necklaces

An Alzheimer’s necklace is a great option, particularly as these IDs have small clasps that require fine motor skills to open, making them less likely to be removed. We have a range of nickel-free, stainless steel medical ID necklaces, all of which can be custom engraved for people with Alzheimer’s.

Additional Information on Alzheimer's Disease

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease symptoms include memory loss, confusion, difficulty speaking, swallowing, and walking, mood and behavior changes, and unfounded suspicions about family, friends, and caregivers. These symptoms can vary in intensity and progression from person to person. Understanding the symptoms of Alzheimer’s can help in managing the disease and preparing for emergencies.

Importance of Medical Information

Accurate medical information is crucial in managing Alzheimer’s disease, especially during emergencies. Having your medical information readily available on a medical alert bracelet or necklace can make a significant difference in the treatment you receive.

Risk of Wandering

People with Alzheimer’s are at a high risk of wandering. A wandering safety bracelet or necklace can help ensure that if a loved one goes missing, they can be quickly identified and returned safely. Wearing a medical alert that clearly states their condition and emergency contacts is essential for safe return.
