Wandering behavior and restlessness
Restless patients/residents, but also elderly people living at home often display wandering behaviour. The wandering can in itself have a calming effect, but someone can also be looking for the toilet or for the exit. Wandering behavior is common in elderly people with dementia. Dealing with (nighttime) restlessness is a challenge. Human Protection offers various solutions to support healthcare workers in this regard.
Solutions
Being able to orientate themselves in time and place and recognition of the environment is important for restless patients and residents. Make sure he/she knows where he/she is and where he/she can find what. Such as the living room or his/her own room. Camouflage places where a lot of wandering occurs, such as near an elevator.
