    Wandering: Prevent It, and Be Ready

    Why they leave, how to make leaving less likely, and the plan for the day it happens anyway

    Fill in what you want (all optional)

    My [Relationship] [Initials] ([Their Diagnosis]) has [What's Happened So Far]. They live [Where They Live]. When they try to leave, they usually say [What they say]. Help me: 1) explain what wandering is usually about β€” looking for something, a habit from years ago, boredom, a need β€” so I can respond to the reason, not the act, 2) give me changes to the home and the day that make leaving less likely, cheapest first, and tell me which door and window fixes are safe versus which ones are a fire risk, 3) give me three things to say when they're at the door with their coat on that redirect without arguing, 4) write a 'ready' kit I set up today: a recent photo, a description, what they'd be wearing, where they'd go, who to call β€” and tell me about programs like MedicAlert or local police registries, 5) give me the exact first 15 minutes if I ever can't find them. Direct, calm, no shame.

    Initials, not names.

    Never paste full names, birthdates, ID numbers, account numbers, or addresses into an AI. Initials and ages work just as well.

    It can be confidently wrong.

    AI is a brilliant first draft and a terrible last word. Anything about medications, doses, benefits, or legal rights gets checked with a human professional before you act on it.

    It's a helper, not a clinician.

    None of this is medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not therapy or an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911, or 988 in the US for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
