Is your loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s a wander risk? There are frequent articles in the news about individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease who wander from homes or care communities. How do you know if your loved one is at risk? What precautions should you take? Gated communities offer safety and security for a loved one who might wander away and become lost or injured. These communities often have interior corridors designed in circles so that mobility can be constant and does not end at a wall or at the end of a hallway.

A gated community may be the safe alternative.
