Better care needed

Resident says more needs to be done to help people with dementia

Once again, another person has gone missing from a care home suffering from dementia.

I lost a friend awhile back who was suffering that terrible disease. She was found after a lot of searching and was suffering from hypothermia.

She had no idea where to go and instead of staying with her vehicle, she struck out on her own.

I cannot believe in this day and age, something can’t be done to help these people.

I believe we can put a GPS on those vulnerable people who take off from their facility with no idea of where they are going. If they get lost, as many do, the GPS unit will find them  before something bad happens.

The family could pay for the unit if they know their loved ones  will be safe.
