 And Wander Prevention Tips!
Summer sunshine and warm temperatures make us all want to get outdoors increasing the risk of a wandering incident by those with dementia.
Concerned about your loved one wandering away, getting lost or disoriented and not being able to find their way home? Contact us right away and enroll in Project Lifesaver. Fully sponsored Personal Locator Units are available.
You'll enjoy peace of mind and...
It may just save your loved one's life!
Tip...
Placing signs on doors that exit to the outside saying "Private" or "Keep Out" may be enough to deter some folks with dementia from continuing and could just help keep them safe from wandering.
