I suppose a lot of it depends on the person with Alzheimers too. In Shillelagh's case she says her mother couldn't reach up to the washing line tied over the gate so that worked for her, but what if the person with Alzheimer's is taller and stronger than you? What if they can fight you and subdue you?

Personally if it was me I think I'd rather be tagged and know I could be found if I got lost. It's not going to be something ugly and prominenent like a thing for an ASBO surely? We can tag dogs and cats. Some of us who have serious medical conditions wear SOS jewellry to inform in case of accidents what medicataion we are on. Is that an indignity too?
