Prevent Wandering with Dementia Care Services in Upland

When looking after a loved one with dementia, you have to be aware of the many new challenges they face. At any stage of the disorder, those with dementia can become confused and disoriented. When this occurs, they often end up wandering away from friends and family, as they cannot recognize any familiar faces. With dementia care services from Visiting Angels^® Upland, you can protect your loved one from wandering and other harmful effects of their disorder.

We provide in-home assistance to help seniors with dementia remain in their own homes. Living in a familiar environment is a critical benefit for people with memory-based disorders, and we are happy to help make that possible. Our care includes flexible scheduling, adaptable care duties, loving companionship and helpful support for family care providers. To get started, here are some of the warning signs of wandering. 

Warning Signs of Wandering

By learning the signs and triggers, you can anticipate a future wandering event and take action early to keep your loved one safe. Here are some things to watch out for:

• Slow movements
  They take longer than usual to complete simple trips and tasks. 
  
  
• Disorientation
  They lose their sense of direction and fail to recognize familiar settings.
  
  
• Time
  They get confused about which time period they are in and talk about past events as if they are current.
  
  
• Adaptability
  They seem confused and lost when presented with a new environment.
