There is Help Available for Alzheimer's Caregivers
By Carol Sipfle, executive director, Alzheimer's Association, Greater Iowa Chapter,
West Des Moines.
The recent disappearance of Robert Krivolavy focuses a spotlight on one of the common and potentially tragic outcomes of Alzheimer's-disease wandering. Six out of 10 people with Alzheimer's, or a related dementia, will wander away from homes, neighborhood stores, places of worship or while visiting friends.
The Alzheimer's Association urges anyone dealing with a diagnosis of this devastating disease to enroll in Safe Return, the only nationwide program dedicated to reuniting loved ones with the person who has wandered.
We provide around-the-clock assistance, no matter when or where the person is reported missing.
The Alzheimer's Association also offers tips for preventing wandering, improving safety at home and dealing with the many other symptoms and behaviors common with Alzheimer's. We provide crucial support and assistance to caregivers, as well as offering education programs on subjects from disease basics to legal and financial planning.
