About this audiobook
Wandering is one of the most distressing challenges in dementia care. It can emerge at any stage, in any setting, and often without warning. This book is written for the family caregiver who wants to understand why wandering happens, how to reduce the risks, and what to do when it does occur — without stripping your loved one of their dignity or autonomy. Drawing on clinical consensus and real‑world care experience, you will learn to identify the triggers, adapt your home and daily routines, use monitoring tools wisely, and communicate effectively with healthcare teams. Separate chapters address driving, nighttime restlessness, and the emotional toll on carers. This is not a medical manual but a companion guide: clear, calm, and actionable. Every decision is yours to make with your parent’s clinical team and legal advisors. Above all, this book encourages you to honour the person behind the diagnosis while keeping them safe. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
