Apple AirTag (2nd Generation)

Losing track of keys or a wallet is a small thing until it happens every week. For a senior living alone it turns into a real source of stress — a missed appointment, a delayed trip out, or the whole house turned over before dinner. A tracker does not stop things being set down in odd places. It just makes the search short. Setup is the part worth planning for. The tracker has to be paired with a phone once, and that step is far easier done by whoever is giving it than left in the box with the instructions. After that, day-to-day use is a single tap in one app. Attach it to whatever goes missing most often: a keyring, the inside pocket of a handbag, a walking stick, or the television remote with an adhesive holder. The battery is user-replaceable and lasts roughly a year, so it helps to note the date somewhere the family will see it.
