The Alzheimer’s Association tells us that 60% of people who live with Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease will wander about. One of the main triggers is looking for a bathroom and may open the wrong door and end up in the wrong room. Another trigger is poor sleep habits. If they are waking up at odd times during the night, you should examine the daytime routine and try and provide more stimulating activities during the day and avoid any unnecessary napping. They may be too hot or too cold. Adjust the temperature and ensure sleepwear and bedding is season-appropriate. Being hungry is another reason they could be wandering. Ensure their bedtime routine includes a light snack.
