Keep Seniors With Alzheimer’s Safe From Wandering
(NAPSA)-One of the most
frightening scenarios for fami-
lies caring for seniors living with
Alzheimer’s is a loved one wan-
dering or getting lost. It can un-
derstandably cause immediate
panic and concern and, unfortu-
nately, happens all too often. In
fact, nearly 50 percent of surveyed
family members have experienced
a loved one with Alzheimer’s
wandering or getting lost, accord-
ing to a new survey conducted by
Home Instead, Inc., franchisor
of the Home Instead Senior Care
franchise network.
Anyone living with Alzheim-
er’s or another form of dementia
is at risk for wandering and it can
happen at any time. If not found
within 24 hours, up to half of these
missing persons may be at risk for
injury or death, according to the
Alzheimer’s Association.
To help prevent this, it is criti-
cal for families to understand the
common triggers for wandering
and steps they can take to discour-
age loved ones from doing so.
“Wandering can be a huge
challenge and major concern for
families living with a loved one
with Alzheimer’s,” said Monica
Moreno, director of Early-Stage
Initiatives at the Alzheimer’s As-
sociation. “It’s best to be proac-
tive in addressing the issue before
it becomes a crisis.”
To help families cope, Home
Instead is offering free resources
to help family caregivers keep
their loved ones safe, including in-
formation on these common trig-
gers that can lead to wandering:
• Delusions or hallucinations.
Those living with Alzheimer’s or
another form of dementia may

tions can keep seniors living with

misinterpret sights or sounds,
causing them to feel fearful and
wander to escape their environ-
ment.
• Overstimulation. Individuals
living with dementia can become
easily upset in noisy or crowded
environments, triggering them to
look for an escape from the chaos.
• Fatigue, especially during
late afternoons and evenings.
People living with dementia may
become tired, potentially causing
restless pacing and, eventually,
wandering.
• Disorientation as to place
and time. Individuals may not
recognize that they are already
home and seek to return to a fa-
miliar place, such as a former
workplace.
• Change in routine. Those
living with dementia may become
confused following a change of
routine, wandering in an effort to
return to a familiar place.

for Kids certifi cation program.
For their products to be eligible
for certifi cation as safe for homes
with small children, manufacturers
must meet specifi ed program crite-
ria and submit their window cover-
ings to a designated third-party test-
ing laboratory.
Throughout the year and par-
ticularly during October, which is
National Window Covering Safety
Month, parents are urged to maxi-
mize window cord safety by taking
these three steps:
• Install only cordless window
coverings or those with inacces-
sible cords. Replace window blinds,
corded shades and draperies with
those that are cordless or have inac-
cessible cords. Look for the Best for
Kids label.
• Move all cribs, beds, furniture
and toys away from windows and
window cords of any kind, prefer-
ably to another wall.
• When window cords are pres-
ent, keep them out of sight and
reach by shortening or tying them
up and away.

(NAPSA)-According to the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commis-
sion, some 70,000 children under
age 5 are injured every year by com-
mon household products and toys-
but yours don’t have to be among
them.
Here are seven ways to keep in-
fants and toddlers safer:
1. Cook safely. Never leave food
unattended on the stove. Turn pot
handles so curious toddlers can’t
reach them.
2. Set your water heater to 120°
F or lower. Infants and small chil-
dren may not be able to get away
from water that’s too hot.
3. Use home safety devices,
such as guards on windows above
ground level, stair gates and guard-
rails.
4. Keep medicines, cleaning
products and other toxic sub-
stances where children can’t see or
reach them.
5. Make sure children are
properly buckled up. With a 90
percent misuse rate for installing car
seats and boosters, parents should
visit a car seat inspection station in
their area to learn how to properly
install and use them.
6. Always check the age label
on toys. Small parts-whether from
toys, pieces of food such as hot dogs
or grapes, or anything else-can be-
come a choking risk for children
who have small throats and tend to
put things in their mouths.
7. Check window coverings for
exposed or dangling cords, which
can pose a strangulation hazard to
infants and young children.
Parents with young children
should replace their corded window
coverings with the many cordless
products.

dow Covering Manufacturers As-
sociation (WCMA) created the Best
