A significant number of Canadians experience cognitive and behavioral changes due to dementia, which can include difficulties with navigation and orientation, increasing the risk of getting lost.
Our Risk of Going Missing Series begins with a conversation between Dr. Noelannah Neubauer, a researcher from the University of Waterloo and Jillian McConnell, guest host and Knowledge Translation Specialist with brainXchange. Dr. Neubauer and Jillian discuss a toolkit she and her colleagues have created to help people with dementia and their care partners understand the risks of becoming lost due to dementia-related changes as well as some helpful strategies to address these risks.
