Oh sadly this is a situation we have heard a few times. Here's SAGA article about how to stop: saga.co.uk/magazine/money… (not fail proof, but helps) #AlzChat @IRememberBetter

#AlzChat My mother was on what is called the 'sucker list' and was receiving 100 per wk begging/sweepstake letters as she had answered many with money, even included her situatoon ; a widow, her background nursing etc. She had a mailbox so interception was put in place.

Wandering can be a problem, but here's a low tech solution, I used myself on a long distance cycle ride cycling4dementia.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/in-cas… - could also be used for PLWD #alzchat

#AlzChat Phones with clear buttons where photos can be placed so that PLWD can just push the button associated with the photos to call their loved ones

@WrightAllyson @TommyTommytee18 ... yes, a bit off topic, but loneliness/ isolation was first item on welfare agenda in 1948... maybe we should have a minister for 'feeling connected'... now that really would be leading the way :) x #AlzChat

#alzchat Yes but it’s as if they’ve just found out that there is such a thing as loneliness, they may be shocked to find out it’s been around for thousands of years

#AlzChat One recent innovation to us that we are using is a small whiteboard that I write on to explain where I am to stop my husband wandering around looking for me. Peaceful showers at last!

#AlzChat Sensors that detect if the front door has been left open. Wearable mobile phone/tracker offers peace of mind to family members and carers

#AlzChat While technology and gadgets are great it can’t replace people or eliminate all risk and should Never be used to replace contact and care from people
