Tracker on wandering person

[YvonneD]

Hello. My mum may now be at risk of getting lost, can anyone recommend a tracker that I could sneak into her bag. Hope she doesn’t find it because, of course, it’ll be a foreign object to her and she’ll remove it. Thanks very much.

Hello @YvonneD welcome I don't have personal experience of using a tracker but quite a few of our members have posted about these so you'll hopefully receive some suggestions. In the meantime you might find something useful in these previous threads:

There's also an Equipment & Technology forum here which might be worth a look too:

Hope you manage to find something to help keep your mum safe.

"foreign object to her and she’ll remove it."
There in lies the 1st problem, closely followed by the 2nd, how do you recharge/change batteries?
Wandering is often the trigger point that leads to Residential Care.
