How to Handle Someone With Alzheimer's Who Wanders

Look for the trigger

• If the behavior is new, determine if there have been any big changes in his/her life. A recent move or change of caregiver can be stressful, for example, and frustration and anxiety can cause wandering. Take extra measures to calm her in stressful times, such as following a steady routine. A new medication could be causing agitation as a side effect.
• Look for a pattern in wandering episodes. If it always happens at night, for example, it could indicate fear or loneliness and he/she may need extra support after dark. If it's at mealtimes, he/she may be hungry or thirsty and unable to follow through on these desires. Some people wander at specific times linked to activities from their previous work life or other former routines.
• Assess whether your patient is busy enough. Sheer boredom is a common cause of wandering. He/she should ideally have access to a variety of activities (sorting laundry or blocks, making art or crafts, watching calm nature-type videos, and talking).
