A senior who wanders at night may do so to fulfill an unmet need or seek something familiar. They may also be trying to escape an uncomfortable environment or a frightening situation, such as a nightmare or hallucination.
The most common causes for elderly wandering are loss of short-term memory, disorientation, lack of sleep, and stress. Identifying the cause can help you develop preventive strategies to reduce wandering and keep your loved one safe.
Identifying Wandering Patterns
People with dementia often wander for a reason, so it’s important to look for patterns and triggers. This might include being restless or bored, searching for the bathroom, looking for food, or attempting to return to an old routine, such as going to work in the morning or picking up children from school in the afternoon.
Provide Meaningful Activities
Caregivers can help prevent wandering by planning meaningful activities and addressing seniors’ unmet needs, such as toileting or hunger. In addition, if your loved one is sleep-deprived, behavioral approaches can often ease their sleep problems.
Reassure Your Elderly Loved One
If your senior family member is prone to wandering, try to reassure them that you will be there to take them home. Reassure them that you will have a plan in place to find them and call for help if they’re missing.
Use the Internet to find resources, support groups, and community resources in your area. These can help you learn about dementia and how to deal with the behavior. fall alert
