Weighing up the Pros and Cons of GPS Tracking Dementia Bracelets
There's a few things to consider before buying a GPS Tracker bracelet for dementia
A GPS Tracking bracelet for dementia ideally needs to be small for an elderly wrist, to be comfortable and not frustrating or distracting for the wearer. The difficulty here is ensuring that enough functionality is still available. If you go too small, then you're left with a battery that runs flat in less than a day, which isn't ideal (particularly if the person may wander at night). There will be less room for the required functionality and necessary components to allow for the SIM card, the GPS Tracker's SOS button (if appropriate), two-way calling or remote listening, and automatic alerts and such like.
A GPS Tracking Dementia Bracelet - the Best of Both Worlds

The GPS Tracking Bracelet for Dementia That Gives You Full Control
Ensure you have full control of your GPS Dementia Tracker Bracelet
Many GPS Tracking bracelets for dementia can leave you reliant on third-parties, apps, middle man call-centers, or tied into subscriptions or monthly fees. We ensure you have full control - with no subscriptions, and a GPS Tracker that's cheap to run.
The Stray Star GPS Tracker can work via an online tracking app, but everything is set via text message. You can also set up to five carers to receive automatic text alerts if the person wanders too far or falls - a highly flexible system that ensures you can always control who the emergency contacts are. You can also easily share the phone number for the GPS Tracker bracelet with the police, if they're ever involved in a search. Having full control of the device means you can ensure it does exactly what you want, without paying more to do so.
Oh - it's also tamper-proof, so the person can't accidentally switch it off, and fully waterproof. If it's ever lost in a house, no need to worry - you can easily make it emit a series of beeps by sending it a text message. This is why the Stray Star GPS Tracker has become a firm favourite in the dementia care community.
