Best trackers for lost loved ones with dementia
I am planning ahead and need some guidance. I am caregiver for both my mom and husband. We all live together since my father died late last year. I am concerned about how to find them if one of them wanders off. What trackers have you found that work for locating lost loved ones? I like the idea of medical ID bracelets as well and have been following that forum question as well.
Thanks so much!

Thank you for mentioning this, I will check into it. A lot of things get left or placed in unusual places.
Yes, she was surprised at how quickly her keys were located. I may get one for myself because I often "lose" things in my apartment and it drives me nuts! Thank God for Apple "find my phone." LOL. My problem though is that my hearing is so bad that it takes several attempts to locate the phone. My brother in law has bionic ears and can find my phone within seconds when I am at their house. Thank you so much. I appreciate you
Try the Apple Airtag.
I have to check this out, thank you so much.
I use Project Lifesaver. My brother wears a bracelet with a GPS inside of it. The Police department near us has this program and my brother's CADI waiver covers the cost. An officer comes to our house once a month to change the battery. I love having piece of mind that comes with it. Not only do I feel safer by having that close connection to law enforcement. I also know that if something happens I just call the police and they can find my brother quickly.
