in Caring for a Parent

I am looking Medic Alert bracelet or necklace. My LO has dementia and fidgits with jewelry. So I'm trying to find something that would be a little difficult for her to remove.

If anyone has suggestions please let me know

    Does she wear sneakers that tie? As a former runner, I wore something called a Road I.D. in case I was ever found unconcious or passed out (I have fainted a few times but not enough to warrant a Medic Alert bracelet). They have a form of this that you attach to your shoe on the laces, bracelets and dog tag type necklaces. Maybe the shoe tag style would be something she'd leave alone? These even have a medic alert red portion https://www.roadid.com/products/healthid-medical-shoe-id-19mm

    Hope you find something that works!
