Please have them wear visible identification and phone numbers in case they get lost. I spent the past 45 minutes with a very confused lady that stopped at my home asking for help finding her way home. Fortunately, we live in a friendly little village where neighbors watch out for each other. She was a mere two blocks from her daughter's house, but claimed they were on vacation and hadn't been home in days (not true, they were at work). She thought she knew the house number and street, but had no clue where that was, and when I took her there she walked throughout the house before she decided it was the right place. I finally found a neighbor that confirmed who she was and knew how to get in touch with the family. Just saying ..........

That is an excellent idea. In those instances, where people can get lost and not remember enough to safely get themselves home, maybe there could even be a GPS type bracelet available. That way, if someone wondered into a nearby woods or something like that, they could be found before a tragedy occured.

My mom had Alzheimers and she always tried to take off, any chance she got.I had to change all the locks and put a baby monitor in her room. She even tried to get out of her bedroom window, which thankfully was groundlevel and had to put a special lock on the window.They need constant monitoring and a bracelet is a great idea. She passed away 16 yrs. ago.
