The Challenge of Wanderers: What Should Caregivers Do?
Keeping track
There are also tracking technologies on the market today that could help you locate someone if they do decide to wander. The options range from bracelets with GPS monitors in them to tennis shoes with tracking abilities. The technologies aren’t fool-proof, of course, but they’re a good idea to get if you care for someone with dementia. In the event that they do wander, a GPS could assist greatly in simplifying the search while also increasing the chance that they are found safe.
