I use this same program. I want to get a bracelet for him for the dx.of Parkinsons. Any ideas? I wake up every morning is he still in the house or wondering in the neighborhood. He has fallen on our driveway so many times I cannot fathom what could happen. I have a first aid kit in my car, two in the house. He takes aspirin. He has a nosebleed on one of his falls. I packed his nose and put a pressure dressing on his nose. He could breathe. I wrapped his arms because of road rash. He would not use his walker. I think differently then he does ..but he thinks he is ok. Not !I did say if you take off and I cannot find you I will call for a Silver Alert. What did he do today. Same thing. I cannot watch him 24/7. He turns off security. I guess he won't bleed if he does that!!! There really is nothing I can do. He is a grown man and he can do whatever he wants. But he cannot drive. He will never find my keys. Any suggestion????

Hi I just read your post. I feel your frustration. All we can do is support them and hope . I hate this disease. So hard on them and you. how long has your husband had it? If you don't mind me asking.

My husband has periods of confusion, especially when waking from a nap - and he naps A LOT! He is not at the point of wandering but I understand your frustration. I worked in nursing homes for many years, and know that wandering is a very real and potentially dangerous problem. Do you have any help nearby? 《Hugs》
