What if my loved one wanders or gets lost?
Treat wandering as a safety issue. Lock doors in a way that still lets you leave in a fire. Use simple door alarms if they help. Tell neighbors. Keep a recent photo and a list of places they might go.
If they are missing now, call 911. Ask your doctor and your Area Agency on Aging about local safety programs. Do not wait until the next scare to make a plan.
