The individual that doesn't get appropriate attention might be out there driving, exposing themselves to danger, lacking the ability to handle their car in a solid fashion or might endanger somebody else out on the road. So often, individuals with Alzheimer's disease that have now progressed a little bit further should always be evaluated for their ability to drive. In addition to that, the individual that becomes forgetful might wander, get lost, all of a sudden stray away from their neighborhood and may get lost or dis-orientated. So imagine the anxiety, the frustration or the fear that somebody all of a sudden finds that they can't find their way back to a secure shelter.
