Wandering Prevention Education Campaign - Yee Yong Centre

By Cynthia Herron

Yee Hong Centre has launched the Welcome Home public education campaign to raise awareness against wandering behaviour in the senior population with Dementia. The annual campaign currently with a series of forums, and subsequent information displays at Chinese malls and all Yee Hong locations.

To provide families with a keepsake tool, the Yee Hong Centre Social Service division has produced a fridge magnet with tips on what Dementia symptoms to watch out for, what to do to prevent wandering, and what to do when a senior is suspected to be missing.

An informative presentation is available for download here so that caregivers can familiarize themselves with what to watch out for while taking care of seniors with Dementia.
