According
to the Blacktown Advocate, 74-year-old dementia sufferer James Ryan
spent two nights wandering around Sydney City last month.

Mr
Ryan told his daughter he was going into the city on Friday
afternoon. It wasn't until Saturday that Blacktown nursing home staff
noticed the man missing, alerting family and Police immediately. A
search into hospitals and local clubs failed to locate Mr Ryan, who
eventually returned home at 9am Sunday morning.
In
order to help protect our loved ones from potentially fatal
situations such as these, Integrated Wireless deliver wandering
resident solutions to many aged care homes throughout Australia. The
tamper-proof wrist band worn by the resident transmits to RFID
receivers that are placed on every door of the facility. When the
resident approaches the door, it will automatically close and staff
will be immediately notified.
Statistics
show that dementia cases are set to rise with the ageing population
and this is not an isolated incident.
