Alzheimer's and Wandering

Recorded On: 06/01/2024

Wandering is a common behavior among people with Alzheimer’s disease or other disorders causing dementia. It occurs when a person with dementia roams about and becomes lost or confused about their location. It is estimated to be the most common form of disruption from people living with dementia especially in congregate living environments. Wandering can cause a person with dementia to become confused and disoriented, even when they are in a familiar place. This program was developed to assist you in maintaining an environment that allows for resident choice, independence and mobility while protecting the rights of other residents and be alert to risks for injuries, elopements, and resident-to-resident altercations.
