Episode description as stored
I wish I had known about this child proofing tip before I spent so much money on locksmiths. In this episode we talk about wandering. As caregivers for our husbands, parents, and other loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, we've learned that wandering is a complex and often frightening behavior that requires careful management. Wandering can occur both inside and outside the home, during day or night, and each scenario presents unique challenges. We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster, and through our experiences, we have four tips to address wandering while maintaining our loved ones' dignity as well as ensuring their safety. Show Notes Takeaways Outside Wandering Tip 1: Use your grapevine   Tip 2: Consider wearable tracking devices Tip 3: Register them with EMT’s and police Tip 4: Consider child proof door knob covers on doors that lead to the outside Tip 5: Consider window sash locks and a pole for any sliding doors Inside Wandering Tip 1: Safety proof the areas you allow them to go during the day Tip 2: Discuss sleeping medication with their doctor Tip 3: Allow them access at night to only the bedroom and a bathroom Tip 4: Consider cameras or baby monitors to make sure you can watch them especially at night  Tip 5: Safety proof access to stairs  Additional Resources Mentioned 7.
