Getting lost. You have to understand that they are affected by sound, light and movements

Their sensory deficits are heightened. Hyper acqucis.

A lot of time I have seen that, People who have curtains that keep flying trouble the patients.

They try to run away from these. And they find a different atmosphere outside, which is why they are lost.

Urge to get recognized. They feel that they should be respected in a better way in their house. People might recognize me if I go out of the house.

It might be that before Dementia they were very popular. A patient told me that,

They at attached a hand on their scooter, as it was hard to drive with one hand and they had to wave at everyone

The person was from Chinwada. There everyone used to greet each other all the time. Therefore they attached a plastic hand to their scooter.

Now when a person like this has to stay home with Dementia due to Covid, They get the urge to get recognised.

So when they go out they at least wave at the people. Explore the lost world. The person used to travel a lot. But now they are stuck between four walls.

So they go out of the house. As soon as they do that they get lost.

So recognise these three things. Sound,light and movement. Urge to get recognised. Explore the lost world

If you attend these things, I will teach you how to. Just know if they are getting lost these are the reasons.
