We all know that older adults are at an increased risk of developing cognitive impairments like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Dementia, often causing them to struggle with memory loss and muscle weakness. Aging adults living with these impairments may get confused while completing simple tasks and wander off, losing track of where they’ve gone.
This can make them more likely to trip and fall, putting them in physical danger in what is, to them, an unfamiliar environment. This can be a concern for many of us who care for our loved ones, worrying they could wander off and hurt themselves.
In today’s digital world, many technologies are available to help give us peace of mind about our loved ones’ safety. One technology many families are using to help care for their older loved ones is geotracking devices.
Born from the advances of GPS technology, geotrackers are simple, cost-effective, undetectable ways of monitoring our loved ones from a distance. This allows them to live as independently as possible while still under the guidance of a watchful eye. Remember to use these with your parent’s permission, as there may be stalker laws which prohibit tracking an independent adult without their knowledge or permission.
