Trying to decide if to call 911. Dad has been out since 7pm. He's starting to get confused and o rant him to not drive. He had no phone on him.
Have tracking on car but it's tied to phone. So isn't updating enough to pinpoint him.

Got a hit on his air tag and located him.
Will likely pull l the start relay on his car in the morning.

Glad you located...assuming he's safe? Sorry you're going through that man that's rough

I went through this with my father. Get him to wear an Apple watch and you can track him. Best thing we did. That and alert the local police that he is starting to wander and provide a picture with his name and address and your contact number. It's very hard. Stay strong.

Right idea but Apple Watches have to be charged every 24 hours. I’d say just put an AirTag on keychain and be done with it.

Recommend a tracker that plugs into the OBD-II jack under the dash, you can track constantly. We saved a young man's life, he got into drugs and was going into extreme danger. 2 decades later, he's a great dad.

My wife is showing sighs of dementia, I geo fence her, so I'm always aware.

I suppose this is the life of the Gen Xer for a while. I haven’t experienced it yet but wife has. God bless.
