AWWW!!! Lil ol man is probably humbled by how much they cared.... It is pretty nice though. If it were me, or my family, it would feel good to know.

In the early stages of Alzheimer's you can still be quite functional. Sometimes willful. My guess is that he was in his mind forced to move to Janesville to be near caring relatives but didn't like the dislocation.
.
A product I recommend is the Kajeet phone. It's for parents to give to their kids, but it has a GPS feature that can be remotely monitored.
