Talking Need home doors alarm

MIL has dementia, has started saying that where she lives is not her house and when she does know people she asked them to take her home.
Being worried that some night she may get the urge to just walk home and no one know she has left for a long time we have decided to put alarms on the exit doors mostly for during the night.
Days gone by I would have gone to Radio shack and got the stuff to assemble a couple but they are all gone in my area.
Where can I get battery powdered alarms that will work on exit doors?

I see on the news all the time people looking for elder people just walking off. In the winter they are usually found froze to death.

I got some from Dollar General. It was a four pack...made by Bell+Howell.
They work quite well, but be sure to get extra batteries.
Here's an example from ebay...

Thanks!!!! Will look at Dollar General for some. Really only need 2 however so guess the other two could be spares.
