Alzheimer’s Wandering Behaviors

Rebecca Hall, program director for the Alzheimer’s Association Miami Valley Chapter. “This behavior risk causes stress that weighs heavily on caregivers and families.”
“Hypothermia and frostbite are real dangers for those who wander off and get lost in winter. Even in 50-degree temperatures, too much core and limb heat can be lost, and in freezing temperatures that body heat is lost rapidly,”
