A resource from:
Home InsteadWandering is a significant issue for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and their loved ones. According to the Alzheimer’s Association®, three of five people with Alzheimer’s disease will wander. If not found within 24 hours, up to half of individuals who wander will suffer serious injury or death.
The Home Instead® network is extending its support to this important area of Alzheimer’s education through a web service at MissingSeniorNetwork.com that is designed to help family caregivers locate individuals with dementia who become lost. This service is an important, and potentially lifesaving, area of Alzheimer’s support.
Professionals in the aging field are encouraged to help educate families about tapping into resources such as this web service to help ensure their loved ones remain safe. Part of the Family Caregiver Support Series, sponsored by Home Instead®.
