"Patient wandering is a constant worry for Alzheimer's caregivers. The EmSeeQ, a bracelet worn by people with dementia and the only cellular-based emergency locator, can help." Reader's Digest June 2012
Although we who are caregivers for someone with Lewy Bodies Dementia usually do not need to worry about wandering (although there certainly were phases of that for us, especially in stores), other types of dementia do have this characteristic. This bracelet looks like a a good option for someone who is caregiver for a person who does wander. The device can be activated to "call" 911,enabling a quick location and recovery. Cost $225 with a $35 monthly service fee. www.embinders.com They say they have rescued more than 100 persons so far. What I have done in lieu of something like this is to put in Dwane's wallet contact information for me, along with his diagnosis.
