Alzheimer's dads and moms with sons and duaghters
“I must say, my mom's comment was perfect. After she had the (ALZ) bracelet on for a few days, she comes to me and says, 'I can't get this thing off.' Music to my ears!” Jerry M - Lombard IL

Unremovable Alzheimer's clasps are safer

Unremovable Alzheimer's Bracelet
Exclusive unremovable Alzheimer's awareness medical ID bracelet clasp system requires 2 hands to open. Free ID and engraving tells first responders how to protect dementia and elderly for a safe return. Attaching to writing hand makes it doubly hard to remove so the memory impaired are never lost. Replaces ineffective ordinary clasps on standard medical alerts. See Beginners Guide
Personalized medical ID's make it easy for first responders and doctors to do what's right when every second counts.
Tag example:
ON BLOOD THIN
PACEMAKER-NO MRI
FORGETFUL
ICE8880000000
Less embarrassing ways to label ID Tag’s for early stage memory problems with softer, more respectful wording such as:
1. FORGETFUL
2. MEMORY ISSUES
3. MEMORY IMPAIRED
4. MEMORY LOSS
5. ALZ (short for Alzheimer’s)
Use "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) cell phone numbers on Tags to get confused or lost loved ones back home safely.
See Abbreviations 

List critical medical issues: Blood Thinners, "PACEMAKER", "AFIB", "DIABETES" and more. See Med Terms
Put bracelet on the “writing hand” so the more difficult-to-handle patients will find it harder to remove by themselves.

Exclusive non-removable Alzheimers clasp design

Unremovable clasp design
Special design for safety: Our unique unremovable clasp and a permanently attached ring to the ID tag keeps loved ones safer than ordinary lobster clasps. Experience proves that this unremovable clasp design, requiring 2 hands to open, is more effective to promote a safe return for Alzheimer's and Dementia loved ones. This clasp has nothing to grab to open the arms. You need to use 2 hands and your fingernails to pry open the arms. What's more, the pivot point has extreme resistance which makes even harder to open.
How to Close the Unremovable Clasp. Closing the clasp is easy if you understand how this exclusive sisterhook system works. Basically, all you need to do is pass one side of the two sisterhook arms through the plate opening at one end, and then squeeze the two ends closed. Just make sure they're completely overlapped. To see how this is done, please see this How-to-Page.

Plan "B" Bracelet Design for Extreme Patients

Plan B alternate 2 ring construction
When the Unremovable Clasp and Rings might be broken, we offer an alternative solution that eliminates the unremovable clasp entirely. Instead, an "All Jump-Ring Construction" uses only super heavy jump rings that can't be bent or broken. This is for patients that will not tolerate wearing a bracelet and have the strength and will to forcibly break the clasp/rings. This alternative solution requires a caregiver being capable of using 2 pliers to close the jump ring on the patients' wrist, or go to a jeweler. This is a permanent closure that can only be opened using pliers. It also requires using our heaviest bracelets. Call 847-638-2223 to discuss.

How best to deal with Alzheimer's & Dementia

Get a bracelet early so they understand why they need the bracelet, and they'll be less inclined to remove it later on. 
Get one they'll like to wear.  It may help to have them participate to feel included in their own care. Doing everything for them can make them feel more helpless. 
Measure wrists carefully so the fit is perfect and snug, but still comfortable. In later stages, they're more likely to pull it off if the bracelet is uncomfortable.
If too loose—dementia bracelets are too easily pulled off without our unremovable design that electronic bracelets can't match.

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is important

Getting the definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer’s early is important for both the patient and families because the cause of the disease is still fairly unknown. This makes it difficult to prevent Alzheimer’s in your adult life as well as making it difficult to treat especially if the disease is far along. Some benefits to be aware of for recognizing the disease early on are:
• A better chance of benefiting from treatment
• More time to plan for the future and possibly avoid legal problems
• Lessened anxieties about unknown problems
• An opportunity for the patient to participate in decisions about care, transportation, living options, financial and legal matters
• Time to develop a relationship with doctors and care partners
• Benefit from care and support services, making it easier for them and their family to manage the disease. 

What You Need to Know: Alzheimer’s & Dementia

Differences between dementia, Alzheimer’s and memory loss from aging can be hard to distinguish. All are notable problems for older adults although they often are used interchangeably and thus, inaccurately. There is a lot that is unknown about these problems, which is often why they're mixed up in everyday conversation.

Dementia

Dementia is the umbrella term that encompasses impairment of memory and/or thought processes enough to interfere with every day activity. It is a general term often used to describe a set of symptoms associated with a decline in memory processing meaning that the term “dementia” is not in and of itself an illness. Though, it can be caused by a number of underlying problems such as Blood Flow problems to the brain, Huntington’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.

Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that affects parts of the brain that specifically control thought, memory, and language. People with ALZ often show signs of confusion, personality/mood changes, memory loss, trouble communicating, and impaired visual recognition of words and objects. One major difference between general dementia and Alzheimer’s dementia is that Alzheimer’s is not reversible where some forms of dementia are reversible.

Age-Related Memory Loss

This is not uncommon when growing older. But sometimes it can be hard to distinguish between “normal” memory loss and dementia. Examples of normal behavior for someone who is experiencing age-related memory loss would be making a poor decision every once and a while, missing bill payments, forgetting what day it is and recalling later, forgetting a word they want to use in speech, or losing things.
Behavior to be concerned about would be an inability to manage their finances, losing track of the month or season, difficulty carrying on a conversation, poor judgment skills, and misplacing items without being able to retrace their steps.
Changes in personality like becoming depressed or irritable when those individuals haven’t been that way before, can be an initial indicator of something more serious.

Paramedics look to the wrists first
Alzheimer's bracelet on wrist
 Because along with the police, paramedics and EMT's are trained to always check the wrists first for a medical bracelet. So make sure it's attached firmly along with all critical medical information for proper care.
With only seconds to save a life, doctors and paramedics have no time for phone calls in a real "medical emergency". They must decide quickly what can and cannot be done on the spot. Only in "non-medical emergencies" will the police make calls.
Must be worn 24/7 and withstand water conditions such as chlorine or salt water. This means a stainless steel medical bracelet is the best choice. Avoid beaded bracelets for memory impaired patients.
If you are the “ICE” number recipient, make sure you have a Med info card that lists all medical issues for loved ones, so when called, you can provide useful help. 
What you need for DNR: Most states will not accept a “DNR” from an ID tag without special paperwork or registration back-up. Check with local paramedics and hospitals for what is needed to honor a “Do Not Resuscitate” request.

There are five stages of progression

1. Memory loss of recent events
2. Difficulty with problem-solving or complex tasks
3. Personality changes (withdrawn, irritable, quick to anger, lower attention span, etc.)
4. Difficulty expressing thoughts
5. Getting lost or misplacing things more often
Once they are past this stage, they will continue into Moderate and Severe Dementia due to Alzheimer’s. At this point they will:
• Become increasingly confused to the point of mistaking friends for family members (and vice versa)
• Wander in search of places that may feel more “right” or become lost
• Forget details of their personal life or fill in the blank areas with made up stories 
• Need help with daily activities such as bathing or grooming  
• Begin to undergo significant changes in personality to the point where they develop unfounded suspicions surrounding family members/friends
Once the later stages set in, it’s not uncommon for loved ones to lose their sense of self.
It's now even more crucial to have a medical bracelet in case they wander outside, get lost, and forget where they are or who they are with, or any other myriad of problems that can arise.
