Fortunately for today’s caregivers, there are technologies that have GPS tracking capabilities for the elderly and people with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. They make it easier and faster to locate a wandering person. A very large number of GPS tracking devices work with cellular technology, so that the elderly with Alzheimer’s disease can be located almost anywhere via apps.
The number of people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is expected to increase to 75.6 million by 2030, and 135.5 million by 2050 (source). Dementia and other similar conditions often cause older people to be confused or lost in familiar and unfamiliar places.
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia erase a person’s memory, familiar environments become obsolete, making it difficult and frightening to adapt to new environments. Disorientation of the disease often leads to wandering, a common and serious symptom for many caregivers who fear their patients will become afraid, lost, or likely to end up in a dangerous situation.
Statistics on wandering clearly show that the first 24 hours are crucial for a person with Alzheimer’s disease to be able to return home safely. Geolocation devices are one of the best ways to ensure that people with Alzheimer’s can be located on time. Most of these devices are small and unobtrusive. They can be worn around the neck or the wrist. As these devices operate using wireless technology, there is no need to worry about it cannot be tracked.
The solution: GPS tracker for elderly people with Alzheimer’s or disorientation!
