Changed behaviour - walking and movement - information for residents, families and carers
This translated resource provides information about dementia and changed behaviour for residents, families and carers.
Some people are restless and may walk for hours without stopping until they are exhausted. Other people walk at unusual times, like at night. People who experience changes in their walking may lose weight, fall over, or get lost and upset others by entering their private space.
