    No but if you google trackers there are loads available.
    They use a sim card for location of device.

    Are you looking for something that you can self monitor or a more professional system. Most of the monitoring ststions offer this through phone apps and other devices.

    Thanks,
    I have been in touch with a private company who claims to provide a very professional device (gps watch) that tracks the person with Dementia but the cost seems very expensive (€400 for the watch + €200 per annum This seems to be a bit beyond the reaches of an OAP.
    I have looked online and the same watch is advertised at £47.00 I am aware that you have to purchase a ‘sim’ card and download an app to make contact with the person but the marginal cost is a bit extravagant
    Thanks again

    You can choose other cost-effective small GPS trackers, as long as it can be well placed on the person being tracked.
