Galahad, Alberta | Great post Mike. I watched my wife's grandmother go through dimentia, and it was very hard on the famiily. In the early stages, the grandfather could still watch over her, but even that became stressful on him, as he couldn't leave her alone for a minute, as she might turn on the stove and forget about it, etc. The final straw came when she got out of the house in the middle of the night and "went to bring in the milk cows". They found her in a neighbours field about a 1/2 mile away. They hadn't had milk cows in 20 years. The son in law installed an alarm on the door that would sound if she tried to get out, so that the grandfather could at least get some sleep until the family could move her to a facility for proper care. People with dementia are not rational, and it would be, in my mind, very hard to keep a tracking device on them. There is no easy or right answer.
