A method and device for monitoring persons in need of constant care, such as mentally confused people in homes for assisted living. Such persons are furnished with a device to be worn by them that cannot be removed or deactivated independently, which, in the event the person leaves the care area, automatically alerts a place qualified to provide help. The departure from the care area is detected by a location-detection unit of the worn device. In the event of departure from the care area, the vital values of the person are determined and, depending on the vital values determined, a connection is set up via a mobile telephone network to one of several places qualified to help. Information concerning the vital values and the whereabouts of the affected person is transmitted to this place.
