Dementia Wandering Devices: Ways to Reduce Wandering

Dementia is one of the things that most people fear the worst when they get older. It is a progressive condition that is typically characterized by a decline in memory, reasoning, language and thinking skills.

While there isn’t a cure for dementia. There is also no treatment known to slow its progression. As the stages of dementia advance, the symptoms worsen. Having your loved one suffering from dementia is an agonizing and heartbreaking to watch.

People with dementia and who are  able to walk on their own, tend to wander, sometimes outside of their home. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than half of all dementia patients will wander. While wandering is one common behavior of dementia patients, it doesn’t mean, though, that you would just ignore it. It is, in fact, a dangerous behavior for dementia sufferers because they are at a higher risk of accidents while wandering. They are likely not to remember their own names and may feel confused or disoriented. Wandering can happen in any stages of dementia (even in the earliest stage)

However, wandering is preventable if you know the right strategies on how to deal with it.

If you are not able to seek professional help or if you plan to be away from the house for a while, try these wandering prevention devices. They will help you to feel less worry and stress, if and when your loved one has the urge to get out his or her bedroom.

I called with questions and was greeted with very friendly and very helpful staff. The motion detector we bought is probably the best caregiving device we’ve bought so far.
