I am looking for some advice on trackers. We have used a Yepzon for my husband. However, I had too many issues with charging, tracking, etc. In addition it is not very user friendly. So I started researching this again, but there are many out there, but how good are they really??? I saw several that had an SOS button and a way to communicate with them verbally from your smartphone. My husband is no longer able to use his phone so Life 360 isn't an option.

Janiece, does your police or county sheriff maintain a database of dementia patients.

It is something of a rain-check from me as I am trialing a monitored watch with GPS and can take/make emergency calls. It hasn’t passed my expectation to date. The concept itself is good.

I have found on the Android phones there is an option on Google Maps for location sharing. I activated that option on both our phones so if I go into maps I can see his location. I have used it several times while he was still driving and it saves a whole lot of worrying! I make sure his phone is charged & he has it with him. Easy to use and it's a free option.
