Residents who wander may have mental impairments and be unable to return home once they find themselves outside the facility. They may be confused about where they are or where they are going. For those with Alzheimer's disease, it is predicted that six out of 10 people will wander and become lost. Wandering can happen at any stage of Alzheimer's disease, early, middle, or late. Problematically, since people with Alzheimer's disease, mental impairments, or dementia may be confused about their location or other information, those who are not found within 24 hours are at a high risk of getting hurt or passing away.
