Supporting people living with dementia and Alzheimer's disease

Monitored dementia devices help keep vulnerable people safer, reducing the support they require from health and social services and from the emergency services. Over one third of 85-year olds have some form of dementia, with Alzheimer's Disease making up approximately 85% of dementia cases.

Using a monitored dementia device can provide great peace-of-mind and confidence to partners and family members who worry about their loved one's wellbeing. Our specialist Emergency Resolution Team will answer emergency calls from your monitored device 24-hours a day. GPS tracking means the Emergency Resolution Team can accurately identify the coordinates of the device and arrange for help to quickly reach the person in need.

Choosing a dementia GPS device

Devices for early stage dementia

As a progressive disease, a person will start off with mild symptoms and remain independent. During this stage, they may find it reassuring to be able to call for help from any location, day or night, using a wrist-worn dementia watch or mobile alarm.

Devices for moderate cognitive decline

People living with dementia may be prone to wandering and can become confused and lost. A simple dementia alarm with GPS tracking built-in, such as the Out-and-About Classic GPS Alarm, may be more suitable.

This GPS device is designed to be easy to use and has one big button to press to speak with the Emergency Resolution Team in an emergency.

Devices for later stages of dementia

Someone living with later stage dementia will show signs of more severe cognitive decline and require more support from carers. The Dementia Locate is a simple GPS tracker designed to be dementia-friendly. It does not have any buttons, lights, microphone or speaker so as not to confuse or alarm the person carrying it.

It's accurate GPS tracking reports its position approximately every 4 minutes so the Emergency Resolution Team can locate its location. Family members can also view the location of the device online using a secure website.
