Prevent Wandering with Dementia Care Services in Tucson

When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, it is crucial to have a support plan. With flexible dementia care services from Visiting Angels® Tucson, you can secure the support of competent and compassionate senior care professionals. We provide in-home assistance designed to assist those with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia to help them remain safe in their own homes. Some of the challenges they experience may include wandering, diminished reasoning skills, and loss of verbal communication skills. Therefore, remaining in a comfortable and familiar setting is vital for seniors with dementia.

We always work closely with family members to set up a care plan and make sure your loved one gets all the help they need. We also help family members understand dementia and its effects. Those living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia can become confused about their location and lose the ability to recognize familiar places and faces, which often causes them to wander.

Wandering can be dangerous and cause stress for your loved one and the family. Here are some of the warning signs of wandering. 

Warning Signs of Wandering

Some indications that your loved one is at risk of wandering are:

  • Inability or difficulty finding familiar places such as the bedroom or bathroom.
  • Returning from doing errands later than usual.
  • Asking to “go home” while at home.
  • Getting nervous or scared when they are in crowded public places.
  • Making repetitive movements or becoming restless.
  • Asking about long-deceased friends or family as if they are still alive.
