The Best GPS Trackers for Dementia Patients
Seniors who live with dementia experience disorientation which erases their memory temporarily or permanently. This causes them to forget familiar faces and places, often leading to their wandering off. At least 60 percent of those with dementia will wander. Wandering may lead to serious injury or even death, posing a major concern to caregivers or family members of the dementia patient.
