Dementia and Wandering Behavior: Concern for the Lost ElderSpringer Publishing Company, 3 maj 2006 - 232 Winner of an AJN Book of the Year Award! Alzheimer's is quickly becoming the epidemic of the 21st century. Today, an estimated four million Americans suffer from this devastating disease.

By focusing on specific responses to wandering behavior and describing ways to create a safe environment in the home, community, and care facility, this book teaches you how to maximize autonomy while minimizing risk for people with dementia in your care. |
