My husband has had vascular dementia and alzheimers for 4 years, he's just started saying that he needs to get out of the house to either 'go home' or go to work, which he doesn't anymore. Just wondered how others distract from this need. He has sneaked out of the house a couple of times and I worry the day will come when he won't know his way back, he can't remember our address. I got a ubequee tracker but there's no saying he will put the coat it's in on when he goes out and even if he does the signal isn't very good. Are there any sorts of sensors that people have tried that would alert me if he leaves the house. I've hidden the keys a couple of times pretending I'd put them in the wrong place, but that just upsets him.
He's suddenly started sleeping a lot more too, ie all morning, is that normal? I know nothing is normal, it's just the sudden change that has surprised me.
