Wandering

Just because someone has Alzheimer's does not mean they will wander. I think percentage is 60%. (40%?). So far my husband does not. He is in stage 7.

  1. I just ran across your comment. I'd been a year. How are you? How is your husband? My mom doesn't wander. My dad did a little bit, but that was earlier on when my mom and dad thought he could sit on a bench near the bathroom or entrance while mom did the shopping. He decided to go looking for her or something. She quit leaving him, so it wasn't an issue anymore. He didn't try to go outside or anything at home, just go back and forth through the house, walking, then in his wheelchair. Please let us know how the two of you are doing.
