I'd Recommend ItWe have been using the 'Locatemythings' tracker unit for a while now. It is attached to my 80 year old dad's keys, and my mum charges it up at night, at the same time as her phone. She has found Dad on a few occasions, including once some miles from home in a place where we would never ever have dreamt of looking for him (under the A4). It took some time to properly integrate it into lives, and clearly it involves some sacrifice of independence, but has, if only for a few weeks, allowed my dad to continue to walk the dog alone without the significant risks he was undertaking previously. He had gone missing for many hours, at night and in bad weather etc. I'd recommend it. Get the idea aired with the carer early in the course of Alzheimers, and don't leave implementing it until its too late for technology to be useful. Dr Sam Oddie, West Yorkshire
