Operation KeepSafe® iD™ Kit
What is Operation KeepSafe®?
Simply put, the Dementia Society of America offers free or low-cost basic ID kits (a $59.99 value) to anyone living independently* at home with Minor Cognitive Impairment or Dementia and their carers throughout the US and Canada.
In addition, as we learn about the efforts of first responders across North America, we seek to provide public recognition and support to the professionals and volunteers who serve individuals and families searching for their loved ones. Examples include:
We can only accomplish our mission through the generosity of our donors. If you can support our national grassroots efforts, please donate now.

*Currently, this program is not intended to provide free kits to long-term care (LTC) residents, e.g., nursing homes, Dementia/memory care, assisted living, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). However, for such communities, we may be able to facilitate low-cost bulk purchases by working with your sponsors and other local fundraising ideas to help defray the costs. Please contact us about LTC options.
Thanks to MyID for their Support in this Project.
