Would you agree for a loved one who were suffering from dementia or Alzheimers to be fitted with a tracker? x

Absolutely....the idea of them wandering off into potential danger is devastating

Deffo, my dad went wandering down the train tracks once, it was at that point we had to say that your independence has gone, he just smiled and said OK bless him

Yes if they had deteriorated so much. I think it's the safest option. Would cut a lot of work out for the emergency services. When they go missing and less upset for the families.

Secret hideaway in the pennines

Too right, just for the peace of mind.

It was a nightmare for my mum, when my dad wandered off.

He was convinced that he still lived in the house I grew up in.

They moved from there 45 years ago

A bit like an ankle tag type thing and yes I would. You hear too many horror stories of people wandering off and going missing. It would give me peace of mind x

I agree with you. The problem is there's a very fine line between being capable of going out alone and not. Also Alzheimer's and dementia sufferers are very good at masking the signs until it's well established and can be very aggressive if you suggest things. My mum only had mild dementia but we had terrible difficulty getting her to accept a lifeline and it more often than not sat in a drawer.

It is something that has been in the back of my mind for some time, Don't feel the need for one at the present time though,

I do have a tracker fitted to my car but that was as an aid to recovering car if ever stolen,

They can be helpful but must be acknowledged as intrusive. Not everyone with dementia needs them, especially during the eaier stages and the various conditions, comprising dementia. People deserve to have freedom, as well as safety and security.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Yes, but I would do what I can to gain their consent.

The day my mother went missing was horrendous. She got lost going to the local shops, ended up in Paddington and only made it home 8 hours later because she wandered into a hotel and asked for a room because she was tired. The reception staff identified something was wrong and managed to get her to give them her home number for their records for the room booking. They called and sent her home in a taxi.

Loss of liberty is a good argument. It's easier if mental capacity has been assessed, but there is that awful early stage where there is no assessment, little willingness to accept that things have changed and there are really good days and some bad days.

My kids have one on me on my phone now! For safety reasons as I cycle to work at 3 in morning! But it does have its drawbacks! X

Alzheimer's runs in the family

A nice strong whiskey with enough sedatives to drop an elephant is my wishes. Having seen what it did to my nan and watching the man I respected most in my life vanish in the first ten years of thirty years of suffering I have no intention of inflicting that on anyone, including myself
