Alzheimer’s and Wandering: We Keep Learning

Barlam goes on to suggest some ways to approach wandering seniors, so that they are not startled or made more anxious by our approach. He also makes note of some interesting ways to camouflage exits. It's good to know experts are looking at all of the reasons for wandering, as well as how to best care for those that are in the wandering stage of the disease. Because, until there is a cure for Alzheimer's, wandering will be part of it what they deal with.

 

Hazel, may you truly rest in peace.
