An estimated 5.3 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease and it is further estimated by the Alzheimer’s Association that 50% of all people over the age of 85 have some form of the disease. In 2009 the average age of residents in AL communities was 86.9 years. Communities that traditionally do not house residents suffering from Alzheimer’s knowingly or not are now at risk. This presentation will look into reasons why reported elopements are on the rise in spite of new technology and how we can work to manage and resolve this exposure. (It is estimated more than 34,000 Alzheimer patients wander out of their homes or care facilities each year.) More Info.
