Another major reason for wandering behavior in cognitive disorders is memory impairment. The person may be trying to find something or go somewhere, but in the process forgets the original purpose and continues to search anxiously. Family members and caregivers can play some simple memory games with the patient, e.g., some memory cards, matching of picture cards, etc. SAGE Fong Shu Chuen Center also provides table games for family members to borrow. Some of these games can also train memory and enhance communication and understanding between family members and patients.
