Hi everyone
I havent posted on here for a while.. my 81 yr old father has Vasdem. He was diagnosed about a yr ago, he lives in sheltered housing, has carers 4 x day, a security alarm on doors, and me coming in after my work every day. Between the carers and me I've managed to keep him at home as this was his wishes and the the psych advised this be good for as long as its physically possible. The night carers gives him last meds at 8.30 pm and get him to bed for 9. Last night I was called to say he wasnt at home and did I have him with me, they got him wandering about outside confused saying he was on duty. HIs alarm 8s set at 8.30 as he lets the dog out to pee . He has no infections etc and wondered how I should approach this? I see in surrey the council have rolled out gps lanyards/watches/tags for dementia sufferers to extend their independence, safety, and peace of mind? I also looked up kickstart. Any thoughts on this and how i should approach this change
thanks
