Specifically, the podcast addressed these topics:

  • Personal accounts of when loved ones with cognitive conditions have wandered during the summer months
  • Common day-to-day challenges of wandering
  • Protective measures caregivers can take to help keep loved ones safe from wandering, particularly during the summer
  • Local resources caregivers can leverage to help protect loved ones
