Wandering (also called elopement) is the most dangerous and stressful symptom for a caregiver. tracker for dementia patients Six out of ten people with dementia will wander at least once; many do it repeatedly.
What causes dementia wandering?
People with dementia may wander for a variety of reasons, including medication side-effects or delusions and hallucinations. They might also be trying to escape an unsettling situation.
Intense agitation is another common trigger of nighttime wandering, particularly in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. It may be a sign that the person needs attention, so check for a full bladder or to see if they have any unmet health and personal care needs.
Establish a routine that includes eating, waking up and going to bed at regular times. This can help reduce the likelihood of dementia wandering at night.
Remove objects that might impede your senior's movement, such as clutter or a door that leads to the outside. Create a path to the bathroom by removing or moving any items that might block their access to the toilet.
Make sure your older adult can reach the bathroom, especially in the dark. For example, put large signs on doors that lead to the bathroom and keep the lights on in the room.
Consider signing your senior up for a service that can send an emergency response team if they do wander at night. MedicAlert's Safe Return program offers this service and has a 24/7 hotline for family members and caregivers.
