Nowadays wandering became one of the frequent, ticklish and deleterious behaviors of elders suffering from dementia. The same may lead to consequences like getting lost or falling down. The proposed system concentrates on problems related to wandering. In this system, we are planning a security support system focused on android for identifying the location of a wandering elder person. This system is employed with the GPS that can detect the position of the individual within and around buildings, and transmit the location to the server device. It can also detect the sound of the drifting elder person and identify the accurate position. There will be an accelerometer which detects when a person falls. This model informs the caregiver by sending the notification.
