So, people with dementia are not the problem—people without dementia, are.
People who are easily confused are more likely to be confused when in a confusing environment? Hmmmmmmmmm … sounds plausible.
Sounds confusing....................
Thinking the same thing. I saw a meme where they have plans drawn up for an Oval basement...
My mother went missing once.
She was found downtown and returned.
Family decided she was walking across town to the house she grew up in.
Always the best place to start the search from.
She has since passed on.
I will be hiding (not missing) in Key West this weekend.
So it’s easier to get lost in an area with many roads than it is in area with few roads. Thanks Captain Obvious, that Phd really paid off.
My grandfather had dementia and was being taken care of by his middle aged daughter, in her RURAL MS home.
One day he was missing and was found by neighbors down the road walking down the dirt road naked................
People with dementia go missing because state DMVs are allowing them to continue to drive.
Thing is, many aren’t simply lost and confused.
My mom recognized her route.
You GF likely “knew” where he was headed, too.
Yes, he would talk of meeting people ‘yesterday’ that had been dead for 30-40 years....................
Or, this medical research is BS.
The higher the road density, the higher the population density. The more people making up the population, the more will have dementia.
My mom’s doctor said that is why he would not diagnose “full-blown” Alzheimer’s.
Dementia with indications of Alzheimer’s was the diagnosis.
She passed due to other health conditions.
That is what I was thinking.
People with dementia are still in there. They are trying to follow their memories to a happier place and time.
The Lord knows I get that urge from time to time.
The only reason I don’t act on it is that I not yet senile enough to think those places are still there. Give it another decade or so though.
Incredible. Smh It must be the ease with which I can buy my beer and spirits which is to blame for all those alcoholics, too.
By the way, the reason people with dementia walk away from care facilities is because they had a moment of lucidity. Imho
If they get lost, then stop running them for POTUS
I can completely understand this. About 15 years ago I was doing business in the DC area and driving from NAS Patuxent River to Crystal City, and for the first time got into what the locals call the “mixing bowl.” It seems like it’s about 4 or 5 levels of interchanges and even though I was both sober and NOT suffering from dementia, I still don’t know exactly where it is let alone how I got out of it. I would probably still be there if i were impaired at the time.
