Location tracker for dementia

Hi, pls can anyone recommend a tracker for an elderly person with dementia. He doesn’t have a phone anymore so cannot track that way. It needs to be relatively simple as my mother needs to be able to see where he is via her phone. Not apple tags pls. Any recommendations? Thanks

It's a scary situation. Good for you for trying to keep his liberty along with his safety. Does he have any understanding of the risks?

Is there a reason why Apple tags/Samsung tags won't work?

Can you tell us a bit more about your relative? So if you want a tracker I'm guessing he still lives at home, alone, but goes out and sometimes looses track of time or doesn't quite remember the way home. Is it for that sort of thing? does he have carers, because sometimes trackers have to be kept charged.

Tell us a bit more about his needs?
