Keruve GPS Locator To Keep Watch on Alzheimer's Patients
There's plenty of people-tracking GPS devices out there to choose from, but if you're in need of something a bit more specialized, you may want to consider this latest device from Keruve, which is apparently intended specifically for Alzheimer's patients. To that end, the system employs a GPS tracker bracelet that's water-proof and can only be removed with a special tool -- it can also apparently fall back on cell tower triangulation (otherwise known as A-GPS) provide a location when regular GPS is unavailable.
As you can see above, that gets paired with a handheld unit that pinpoints the patient's location on a map, but the entire kit doesn't exactly come cheap, with it setting you back €850 (or about $1,340). [Via NaviGadget]

My name is Kathy Hatfield and I am the primary caregiver for my 80 year old Dad who has Alzheimer's disease and lives with me in North Carolina.
I am writing a daily blog on my caregiver website that shows the lighter side of caring for someone with dementia. There is also lots of information about dementia and caregiving, as well as a LIVE CHAT every Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. USA Eastern time for caregivers who need support, but cannot attend a “live” support group.
Please pass this link along to anyone you feel would enjoy it.

Thanks,
Kathy

Kathy, My name is Allan and I lost 7 people in my immediate and extended family in 6 months, had to run 5 funerals in 3 states and 2 countries. My father is 87 and with me and has two different diagnosis. Probable Alzheimer's from a Psyc program and another Psyc at the VA who says not Alzheimers. My Dad was a B17 pilot, shot down landed on no engines and flew an extra 5 missions he did not have to. He was in a double blind clinical trial for Exelon that got messed up and after 2 weeks off the medication it was like he went off the cliff. His PCP was a NP who has some substance abuse problems I was not in tune with. What is the sight I would get on to for TU eve chat and how do I do it. Prior to his immediate decline he would walk every day as much as 6 miles and take the bus, go to the library ect.
I am very sorry about your Dad. The VA here has a tracking program - not the best but they seem to care.
Thank you so much Allan

I’m using eCare GPS Locator for my Grandma, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disorders. We have lot of control over her activities without disturbing her and restrict her from wandering away with the help of eCare GPS locator. We can monitor her activities throughout the day and rest assured about her safety.
