How do I get to May? The question was asked of my 63 year old client as we paid his bills. It was early April and I entered reminders to his calendar as we sat together. I reached over and turned page to May. Alzheimer’s Disease is heartbreaking.

A MedicAlert ID and membership with Wandering Support® provides an extra level of safety and security for persons living with dementia, their families and caregivers.

→ How it works

If an individual with Alzheimer’s or dementia wanders and becomes lost, caregivers can call MedicAlert’s 24/7 Emergency Response Team to report it.

MedicAlert will create a missing person report and activate a community support network including local law enforcement and hospitals to help locate the person who wandered. MedicAlert will share vital information with first responders as needed.

If someone with dementia is found wandering, citizens or first responders can call MedicAlert’s toll free number on the person’s MedicAlert ID to identify the individual and initiate outreach to their emergency contacts.

In either case, the goal is to quickly reunite the person who wandered with their family and loved ones.

Medicalert Foundation & Alzheimer's Association are partners in the mission to end Alzheimer's. MedicAlert provides IDs for persons living with dementia.

I manage my client’s wealth through coordinating information among investment managers, CPAs and attorneys, insurance experts, medical providers and others. The various professional credentials I earned are necessary to understand the components that make up abundance. An accounting degree, tax preparation experience and working with some of the best in wealth management allows me to understand ratios and make accurate calculations, assumptions and projections. I believe strongly in keeping my client’s intent front and center. The sprinkling of common sense helps sweeten the recipe that leads to well managed finances and peace of mind. Prosperity comes in many forms and flows freely.
