When left on their own those with Alzheimer's often wander off and get lost. I am extremely lucky as though I have always been aware of this neither Mum nor George has ever shown a tendency to go out alone.
What I do is put on a favourite DVD and leave a plate of biscuits and a drink on the kitchen bench. This seems to work quite well. I do this every Saturday when I go to Mum.
You do have to be prepared to clean up the mess when you return. In addition to bringing stuff out all over the place this morning a found his continence pants on the the floor and just put a pair of long pants on. Change and clean was then the order of the day..
