Life-space mobility (LSM) is an effective way of assessing functional levels and independence. We present a dyadic case study to explore the feasibility of using a global positioning system (GPS) watch to measure LSM of a Latino PWD. Methods included travel diary, LSM questionnaire, and qualitative interviews in addition to the GPS-based mobility characterization. GPS data indicated that the PWD made outdoor trips regularly and was active socially, with day-to-day variations. Caregiver and PWD interviews revealed contextual information about mobility patterns captured by other methods. The dyad had positive perceptions of the GPS watch for tracking health and activities. This study demonstrated a use for wearable location tracking technology to support accurate LSM assessment in dementia that can inform nursing practice, policy, and research to promote well-being and delay functional deterioration in PWD. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 47(10), 15-22.].Diabetes is one of the most common disease states in older adults and there are significant risks to the use of antidiabetic medications. The older adult population varies greatly in functional ability, independence, and cognition. These factors, along with increased risk of hypoglycemia, falls, and other comorbidities, add to the complexity of creating medication regimens to treat diabetes in older adults. In the current review, a person-centered approach to diabetes care in older adults is described to aid clinician decision making. By keeping the patient and their individual factors in the center of the decision, risks of over- or under-treating diabetes can be minimized. The review will discuss person-centered goal setting, practical approaches to diabetes medication management, and spec
