August 2007 — IF YOU WERE HURT AND COULD NOT SPEAK, WHO WOULD KNOW TO HELP YOUR LOVED ONE?

If you were wearing a specially designed "I am a family caregiver" bracelet, pendant or dog tag, the answer is EVERYONE.

That's why we have teamed up with American Medical ID to promote the use of medical identification jewelry for family caregivers.

Family caregivers receive a 10% discount on all American Medical ID purchases, and an additional 10% will be donated back to NFCA. To take advantage of this offer, simply click the link below to start shopping. Make sure the code NFCA appears in the Promotional Code area at the end of your checkout. Please note--your 10% discount will not appear until your final check out page.

There is also a dramatic discount for two or more IDs on the same purchase. Simply initiate the online shopping process for your first ID and a window will open that will allow you to choose additional IDs.

Caregivers should include the following on their ID:

- I am a family caregiver for my (relationship)

- Caregiver's name

- Care recipient's name

- Urgent needs and instructions for the recipient

- Who to contact in your absence

If you wish to provide more information that can fit on your ID, you can engrave "See wallet card" and write additional information on the free wallet card that will be included with your order (make sure it is accessible to emergency personnel).

Many care recipients should also wear a medical ID that provides their health conditions (such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, stroke risk), medications they are taking (such as blood thinners) and any food, drug or insect allergies. Caregivers, you should include your contact information on their ID.
