Technology Nana Will Love
The Star Tribune - January 31, 2012 - There are some tech tools that are actually useful for older adults -- and might even save lives.
If someone you know is suffering from dementia, the chances that they will wander off and get lost at some point are high -- up to 60 percent in the case of Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia. And up to half of those who are not found within 24 hours may die, from dehydration, exposure or injury.
You might not be able to stop Mom or Dad from wandering, but thanks to technology, you can make sure they will never get lost.
