Stubborness & Resistance to Help
Caregivers: Dementia | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (34)Comment receiving replies
My husband is also very stubborn before and after his Alzheimer's diagnosis.
I have two apps on our phones: Life 360 and Find My Phone. I try to make sure he always has his phone in his pocket, and I always have mine on me. When he starts to go outside in a happy voice, I say, "Do you have your phone in case you want to call me?" Then I can always check the Apps to see where he is.

@trishaanderson Since you mentioned Life360. Are you using it as a free account or paying for it? I don't have an iPhone, yet my parents do so I installed this on mom's phone but the problem is she is protective of her phone and is not a fan of the "tracking" and knowing where she is. This app constantly sends notifications although I have disabled them so I'm wondering if this is just because we are using it free versus a paid account. Every time I can make an excuse to update her phone or check something for her, I double check that notifications are off and reset her location so we can see her but with each notification pop up, she shuts off the location. Ugh! We decided to use Life360 because the Apple's Findmyphone doesn't have a nice view like Life360 does and also I can see both of them having an Andriod device and not an iPhone. Any advice there?

My daughter suggested this when she was visiting, but she has an iPhone and my husband and I have Samsung Galaxies (and his is an older model that he doesn't want to upgrade). Is there an Android app that would work in a similar fashion for our phones?
