Decreased sense of smell may indicate early dementia

That's my fear. I'm going to come home and she will be gone. My employer lets me check on her frequently but it only takes a minute for her to leave. For you tech smart people, do they make a fitbit or something along that line that can track her movement (GPS)? I realize that phones do but she forgets her phone most of the time.

Yes, they do. There are watches available with GPS trackers in them. They were recommended to us by home health care when my mother-in-law came home from memory care rehab. She's not to the point where she needs one yet, but the nurse told us that they are available on Amazon and probably through other sources as well. I did a very quick online search and found several options including some with geo-fencing which means you would get an alert if she leaves a pre-determined zone. Hope that this helps.
