Wandering and Elopement: Keeping Seniors Safe is an mmLearn.org presentation for the James L. West Center for Dementia Care.

Wandering and elopement are very real threats for someone suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s. For caregivers, this is of great concern. Raising awareness, understanding the risk factors, and taking appropriate preventative measures can lead to the best outcomes. The information in this video will greatly assist those caring for someone in the home or professional caregivers in long-term care settings in keeping our aging loved ones safe.

Through a partnership with mmLearn.org, James L. West offers the following video library with real-life, practical skills caregivers can start using today. mmLearn.org’s mission is to improve the quality of care and the quality of life for older adults by providing family caregivers, pastoral care providers and healthcare professionals with training and education based on evidence and best practices, using progressive technology and other advanced delivery methods.

An extension of Morningside Ministries, mmLearn.org has produced more than 300 caregiver training videos and provides training to caregivers worldwide. This session was recorded in December 2019.
