Preparedness Support for Older Adults & Caregivers
The Older Adults & Caregivers Anchor Tag System is a personalized crisis and preparedness support system designed to keep important contacts, care instructions, communication needs, and helpful resources accessible when an older adult may be confused, disoriented, separated from their caregiver, or unable to clearly explain what they need.
It is more than an identification tag. Each engraved QR tag connects to a private, personalized Support Hub created around the individual.
By preparing this information ahead of time, the system can help:
- The older adult maintain access to familiar contacts, information, and support resources.
- Family members and caregivers communicate important needs more clearly.
- Neighbors, first responders, healthcare professionals, community members, and others offering assistance understand how to help.
No app is required.
Why Planning Ahead Matters
An older adult may become confused, experience memory changes, wander, become separated from a caregiver, or have difficulty communicating during an unfamiliar or stressful situation.
Caregivers and family members may also feel overwhelmed while trying to remember medications, contacts, care preferences, instructions, and other important details during an already stressful moment.
The person offering assistance may not know the individual, understand their needs, or know who should be contacted.
Preparing personalized information ahead of time gives everyone a clearer starting point. Instead of trying to gather details during a crisis, trusted contacts, care instructions, communication preferences, and helpful resources can be accessed through the tag when they are needed.
Who This System May Support
This system may be helpful for:
- Older adults who want important information prepared and accessible
- Individuals experiencing memory loss, dementia, or cognitive changes
- People who may become confused or disoriented in unfamiliar settings
- Individuals who may wander or become separated from a caregiver
- People who have difficulty communicating during stressful situations
- Family caregivers, professional caregivers, and trusted support networks
- Older adults living independently, with family, or in a care community
Every Support Hub is personalized. The individual, caregiver, family member, or trusted support person chooses what information is included.
What the Personalized Support Hub Can Include
Depending on the individual’s needs, the Support Hub may include:
- A clear emergency or support message
- Emergency and caregiver contacts
- Communication preferences
- Care instructions and support preferences
- Important medical or safety information selected by the user
- Familiar routines, calming tools, audio, or videos
- Helpful instructions for responders, neighbors, or others offering assistance
- Important notes
- Private resources or links selected by the individual or caregiver
Only the information chosen during personalization is included.
Keep Your Unique Tag ID
Every Anchor Tag System is assigned a Unique Tag ID. Keep this ID in a secure place separate from the physical tags.
Your Unique Tag ID helps Craft Alchemy verify the correct system when you need to:
- Request changes to your personalized Support Hub
- Update emergency contacts or support information
- Order replacement tags
- Confirm which Support Hub belongs to the individual
Do not rely on the physical tag as the only record of this ID. Save it with your order information or other important records so it remains available if a tag is lost or damaged.
How the Anchor Tag System Works

Privacy-Focused & User-Controlled
Anchor Tags are designed with privacy and user control in mind.
Users and caregivers choose:
- What information is included
- What care or support instructions are shared
- What communication preferences are visible
- What contacts and resources are accessible
Private Support Hubs are not publicly searchable and are designed for controlled access through the QR tag or private direct link.
The individual, caregiver, family member, or trusted support person decides what information to provide. Sensitive information should only be included when the customer is comfortable making it accessible through the tag.
The Anchor Tag System is not a GPS tracker and does not monitor the individual’s location.
Update & Replacement Options
Optional update and replacement services are available separately when users need to:
- Update care or support information
- Change caregiver or emergency contacts
- Refresh communication preferences or helpful resources
- Update important notes or instructions
- Replace a lost, damaged, or worn tag
Replacement tags remain connected to the individual’s existing personalized Support Hub.
Important Information
Anchor Tags are crisis preparedness, communication, accessibility, and support tools designed to help important information remain available during stressful or communication-challenging situations.
They are not medical devices, diagnostic tools, monitoring systems, wandering-prevention systems, emergency services, or replacements for professional care, supervision, or an individual safety plan.
If someone is missing, in danger, or experiencing an immediate emergency, contact 911 or the appropriate local emergency service provider.
