Best trackers for lost loved ones with dementia

in reply to @briankj I understand. Is it possible to keep a closer eye on her when out in public? I am not going to suggest a leash, although that did enter my mind when I saw your post. Those trackers are not foolproof, as my brother in law has been "lost" on more than one occasion. They can be useful as long as the person does not "lose" the tracker, if you are talking about one of those devices. On the other hand, the iPhone is good for location sharing which might be helpful, assuming your wife can hang on the cell phone, which my brother in law could not. If I were you, I would ensure you are with her at all times so she does not get "lost." I am so sorry that this is happening to you.

Thank you, I'll get a tracker for her purse. I have an Android phone so I'll have to do some research to figure out which is a good one.

I am brand new here. Hello to all! My husband has what's probably vascular dementia.
I so know about keeping an eye on him wherever we go.
He is still "well" enough he doesn't realize the many problems he has. Doesn't believe he has a disability. Yet needs help with almost everything. Says "I'm not a baby" when I'm concerned about where he's going in a
store, etc. I just follow him. I too would like to find an ideal tracker. I use an android phone.
Thank you!
