Searching for the Wandering from Comfort Keepers Elder Care in Troy, MO
I hadn't even made it to my clients door to check on him when there was a knock on the door. There was a policeman at the door and he had my client, a small 85 year old man in PJs and slippers, with him.

It became such a problem in Virginia that the police are now taking classes on how to find these wanderers. To learn more about it read the following article:
