Mind Me GPS for dementia sufferers
Sussex Police have adopted a proactive attitude to the issue of those who suffer with Dementia and wander. In most cases it is the the Police who are the first port of call for people who’s relative has gone missing. This is a costly use of police time when numbers of officers have already being reduced
They have invested in “Mind Me” GPS tracking devices and distributed them to the most vulnerable dementia suffers in the county.
These “Mind Me” units are a cost effective alternative to the Police helicopter at £800 per hour and reduces anxiety for the family.
I was first introduced to these” Mind Me” units last September at the 2012 over 50’s show when I met the creator ( as Above).
I thought then that they were an excellent idea and although no one wants a loss of privacy, for their family they really offer peace of mind and save lives too.
