Wandering is one of the more common challenging behaviours with Alzheimer Disease. To give you peace of mind, you can voluntarily register yourself or the person you are caring for with the nationwide Alzheimer Wandering Registry Program developed by the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the RCMP. This program helps people with Alzheimer Disease return home safely after wandering.

Occasionally, we all forget an appointment or lose track of where we parked our car. But what if we go somewhere and then can't recall where we've been? Or we struggle to remember once-familiar faces, have trouble following simple conversations or find ourselves suffering from extreme mood swings? For some people, these symptoms may signal a serious health problem such as dementia. Dementia, including a very common form called Alzheimer Disease, affects about one in 13 Canadian seniors, many of them veterans.
