Prevent Wandering with Dementia Care Services in Chicago

Dementia sufferers and their families have to deal with many stressful issues. Wandering is one of the most dangerous and scary effects of this disorder. When seniors lose the ability to recognize familiar settings, they often get confused and end up wandering around without any sense of where they are or what they are or why they are wandering. With professional dementia care services from Visiting Angels^® Chicago Lakeshore, you can take the first step towards protecting your loved one. 

We offer dedicated in-home assistance to make sure your loved one has someone around they can trust. With our loving support, we can help to manage wandering and other issues related to dementia. To get started, let's go over some of the warning signs related to wandering.

Warning Signs of Wandering

Wandering is possible at any stage of the disorder. We encourage every family to pay attention to the warning signs, so that you can protect your loved one before wandering becomes an issue. Here is what to watch for:

• Confusion
  Does your loved one take longer than normal to walk home? Do they ever have trouble finding the bedroom or bathroom in their own home?
• Time Loss
  Have they ever spoken about the past as if it is the present? Do they ask about deceased relatives as if they are still alive?
• Stress 
  Do they seem nervous or scared when out in public? Have you noticed any restless or repetitive movements from them?
