When I wrote, Do You Believe in Restraints for Alzheimer’s Patients? recently, I received a number of thought provoking responses. I’m going to follow up on this topic further and would appreciate more responses so I can get a good idea what various people think…whether you’re a professional caregiver, a family member, or someone who isn’t a caregiver.
The Alzheimer’s patient’s desire for wandering presents a grave problem for caregivers. Their ability to circumvent locks and closed doors is uncanny. Their lack of consequences thinking often leaves them with no fear of danger.
What do we do?
Leave a comment either on this post or the link above for my previous article and let us know what you think.
