Discrete GPS Locating Device Solutions
Question
My Mom was recently placed in long-term care. I am wondering if you could suggest anything I could put in her shoes to help me locate her in an emergency?
Our answer
Being aware of the location of your loved one when in long-term care is a very reasonable desire and good for their own safety. Being able to be discrete with a GPS device or air tag can be difficult, but there are solutions.
Here are a few products that address this challenge that we have listed below.
