Hello I was wondering if someone can help me I'm very new to this website and any help would be greatly appreciated. My mother has dementia she's in her late seventys. In the mornings she will go to the newsagents to buy the paper for my dad however on the journey there her mind gets confused and she ends up going elsewhere. This has happened about five times now I have my dad who is extremely worried and at his wits end. my dad is in his late eighties (and as fit as a fiddle). When he finds my mum sometimes she is disorientated however the majority of the time she is defensive and can't see what all the fuss is about. Is there some sort of tracking device available ? So we can locate her if she does go missing again? I find it very puzzling because when she goes shopping to the supermarket she finds her way home but going to the newsagents poses a problem for her.
I'm constantly worried and to be honest with you I don't know what to do I have bought a clock from Argos which displays the time and the date (as she has now forgotten what day it is etc)
If there is anyone who can offer me any tips I would appreciate it I feel useless
Thank you for your help
