Hi, I'm new here and I'm looking for some advice.
My dad has Alzheimers with Dementia. He's 75 lives alone and has 4 carers visiting him throughout the day as well as family. He seems to have been really settled lately however we had an incident on the weekend where out of the blue he wandered quite far away to a main road away from his home. Someone realised something wasn't right and called the Police and he was brought home (thankfully). Up until this point we felt he was safe at home but now I'm constantly worrying he's going to do it again. I've looked online at lots of different types of trackers but dad would take anything off it were round his neck for example. If anyone has any advice on a suitable device that he couldn't remove/tamper with I'd be really grateful. I've spent hours searching the internet and there's so many different options out there. It needs to be simple and I want to be able to set up an alert for if he goes past a certain safe point. Thanks in advance Jo
