Tag for relative with Dimentia

[LouiseNich]

Hi There

Recently my Nana has been going walk about randomly during the week, on several occasions the police have brought her back, is there any form of jewelry we can get her which stores her name and address in case this happens again?

She's in the later stages of dementia and seems to always go back to her home town where she grew up as a child, so we often know where to find her, i just wanted to know if anything like the above exists so if she does end up somewhere different then its o her person?

Any feedback would be very much appreciated!

There is the Dementia Buddy Guardian Angle Device available as a wristband, key ring, badge , or bag tag.

1) Hold the back of your NFC enabled phone flat over the Guardian Angel device and the person’s first name & emergency contact number will be displayed.

2) Just click on the telephone number to speak to their loved one to get them home safe and sound.

The emergency services will recognise the symbol on the device, as will several members of the public

A device cost £5 although some LA's subsidise the purchase or meet the full cost, on ordering any discount will automatically be applied.

Most phones are NFC capable.
