Understanding Wandering & How to Help

Light refreshments will be available.

Wandering is more than just a symptom of dementia – it’s a behavior that can quickly lead to unsafe situations. Wandering puts individuals at risk of falls, injuries, or getting lost. It’s often a result of anxiety or a desire to go somewhere familiar.

Learning how to recognize triggers and respond effectively can help caregivers protect their loved ones while supporting their independence.

We’re here for you. Bring your loved one with memory loss to enjoy an activity with our life enrichment team while you attend the educational session at our community in Mashpee.
