Prevent Wandering with Dementia Care Services in Milford

Caring for a relative with dementia is full of challenges. You need to be aware of the potential risks of their disorder and create a plan to keep them safe. One of these risks is the issue of 'wandering'. Seniors with memory disorders often fail to recognize familiar people and places. This often leads to them wandering in a confused state of mind. With our dementia care services, Visiting Angels® Milford provides support to help minimize the risk of wandering and protect your loved one. 

We offer a wide range of care duties, depending on the needs of each senior. The goal of our service is to maintain a safe home life where seniors with dementia can live in peace and privacy. We always work closely with family members to provide the best care possible, so to get started, let's go over some of the ways you can anticipate future wandering episodes and be prepared. 

Warning Signs of Wandering

If you notice any of these signs, your loved one is likely at risk of wandering:

  • Time Confusion. It is common for seniors with dementia to mistakenly refer to deceased relatives as if they are still alive. They will also talk about past jobs or other situations from the past as if they are happening in the present. 
  • Disorientation. Seniors will ask to 'go home' despite being home already. They will become lost in their own home, unable to find the bathroom or bedroom. 
  • Anxiety. Many seniors with dementia are triggered by crowded places. These situations cause them anxiety and intense fear. You may also notice restless or repetitive movements.

Taking time away from a senior relative who needs help is a difficult thing to do, but it's often the right move. Caregiver burnout is not good for anyone involved, so there's no need to overwhelm yourself. We can provide kind and reliable help as often as you need.
