How does a dementia tracker work?

Many older people enjoy the freedom provided by wearing a personal alarm. It helps to know that help is just a button click away.

But for those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, there are also a host of features that benefit not just the patient, but that also provide total peace of mind for their family too.

A GPS tracker for dementia patients is a simple way to be able to locate the user, should they wander or get lost. A personal alarm for people with dementia allows the person using the device to call for help at the touch of a button, to let their loved ones know where they are if they need help. They also allow family members to request the location of the tracker.

Additionally, our dementia alarms come with geo-fencing features which allow you to be notified should the user leave a specified ‘safe’ location. This allows you to quickly come to their aid or get help should they wander outside of the home.

Our SureSafe Dementia Tracker allows you to instantly check on things like the alarm user’s location, view a history of prior locations, a log of any activity the alarm has had (e.g. SOS button presses, falls detected, geo-fence alerts, low battery alerts and many more).

Our dementia trackers are available in the form of a necklace. Having the dementia tracker worn on the body means that it is always with the person should they need it, for example, while showering, and it is easily accessible should an emergency occur. They do not need to worry about finding it or trying to get it out of a bag or pocket. They are also more likely to remember that they have it, when it can be seen easily at all times on their person.

GPS dementia trackers are equipped with an SOS call button for if the user needs help. In the event of an emergency, they simply need to press the panic button and help will be on the way. With the GPS feature, when the alarm calls for help, it automatically shares its location. As mentioned above, the SOS button can be disabled if it is not suitable, or not required, for the wearer’s needs.

When you choose a SureSafe dementia tracker alarm, your alarm comes with unique family and friend monitoring. With our friends and family monitored package this allows you to set up a number of people of your choice who will be alerted should the wearer press the emergency button, or in the case of alarms for geo-fencing, or fall detection, be alerted should either the person wonder, or a fall be detected.

Protection for those living with dementia – prevent wandering

Dementia is associated with the loss of cognitive functioning, including memory, thinking, language and problem-solving, to such an extent that it interferes with daily life. With this in mind, people with dementia or Alzheimer’s can often get lost or confused about where they are or where they’re going. This can lead to “wandering” which is a serious concern for many caregivers who worry that their loved ones may become frightened, get lost or even walk into a dangerous situation. It’s estimated that around 60% of people with dementia will wander at least once but many are likely to wander on more than just one occasion.

Wandering is the primary reason people buy trackers for people with dementia. If a person wanders outdoors unannounced, it can take hours to try and find them. Wearing a dementia tracking device, such as the SureSafe Dementia Tracker, means that they can be located within minutes. They can allow a person with dementia to remain independent and live a normal life, knowing that if they need help, get lost or start to feel poorly, someone will be able to easily find them.

Alarms that are equipped with GPS tracking let respondents know where to send help in case of an emergency. This personal alarm is also equipped with Geo-Fencing which allows you to set a ‘safe zone’ and notifies you if your loved one leaves this area. Furthermore, it offers fall detection so if the wearer suffers a fall, someone will be alerted even if they are unable to press the SOS button.

What personal alarm is best for dementia?

Which alarm suits you will depend on several factors, including personal preference, stage of dementia and lifestyle.

If a loved one has dementia there are lots of non-intrusive devices, such as the SureSafe Dementia Tracker, which can help ease your mind and monitor your parent to ensure they are safe.

The SureSafe Dementia Tracker is packed full of features to help people with dementia or Alzheimer’s. The optional SOS button is easy to press in the case of an emergency, so help will be on its way. Use of the SOS button will vary based on the stage of dementia – if they are at a moderate to advanced stage of dementia, this can be switched off.

If the wearer has a fall, the automatic fall detection can detect it and call for help without them needing to do anything – this can be vital if they lose consciousness as a result. In addition, the GPS and GeoFencing features make this the perfect dementia tracker as you can easily find them if you’re worried about them wandering.

This device also has a minimum 4-6 days of battery life so you or your parent don’t need to worry about ensuring it’s charged daily.

Don’t wait until something happens.

A dementia tracker means your loved one is never alone. At the touch of a button, they can ask for help at any time of day or night, every day of the year. Allow them to stay at home longer and enjoy life as independently as possible.

The device arrived promptly and it was easy to understand how to charge it. Any questions we had about activating the pendant and about receiving the information forms we needed to complete were skilfully and successfully answered by John. My elderly mum who’s not in the least tech savvy is happy and confident about wearing her pendant.

Our Rotary club provides Lifeline alarms to vulnerable people in our area. We moved our client base from another call centre to SureSafe in late 2023. The service that SureSafe provides is excellent. Their response is friendly and efficient when taking on new clients.

A very professional service provided in a caring and friendly way. We have no regrets moving to them.

The package came in great condition and was well packed. I purchased this button as a tool for my service dog and the button is sturdy and yet gentle enough that he has been able to click the button fairly easily. I am so excited to see the benefits of using this button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? Take a look at some of the common questions that people have before buying a SureSafe alarm:

What is a GPS tracker for dementia patients?

One of the symptoms of dementia can be that a person becomes forgetful. As a result, they can sometimes wander off without telling anyone. Other times they might already be out but the become disoriented and cannot remember where there are, or how to get to where they are going. A GPS tracker for dementia patients is a simple way to be able to locate them should they wander or get lost. A GPS tracker for dementia patients allows the person using the device to call for help at the touch of a button, to let their loved ones know where they are. They also allow family members to request the location of the tracker.

The SureSafe Dementia Tracker is a very popular GPS tracker for dementia patients. It is a lightweight necklace based dementia tracking device that is worn anywhere the person goes. It uses GPS technology to share its location when needed. They provide great peace of mind for loved ones who are concerned that their loved one might wander off, or might get lost.

Why do people buy trackers for people with dementia?

Dementia and Alzheimer’s can make people lose familiarity with people and places. People with dementia and Alzheimer’s will often get lost or confused about where they are. This can result in them getting lost when they are out and about. It is known to happen at any stage of the disease, not just at the latter stages.

The Alzheimer's Association estimate that 60%, or 6 out of 10, people with the disease will wander at least once. They further state that many will wander a lot more than once.

Wandering is the main reason people buy trackers for people with dementia. If a person wanders off out of the house unannounced, it can take hours to try to find them. Having a dementia tracking device on them can mean that they can be located within minutes.

Another reason people by trackers for people with dementia is in case they got lost. They may go out of the house with full awareness. They know where they are, and where they plan to go. However while out on their journey, they may become disoriented or forgetful, and what was a normal trip out becomes a bad experience. Having a tracker for people with dementia means that their loved ones can find out where they are at any time. Our dementia tracking device allows loved ones to send a text message to request their location, meaning that they can be found in seconds.

My dad has dementia, but he won’t wear a pendant. What are my options?

If a loved one has dementia, but refuses to wear a pendant, we offer the ability for the device to be worn on a belt clip.
