I ran into a lady in a similar condition and almost didn't realize that she was in trouble! It's a sad fact that many seniors wander off and die due to exposure. If you're worried about a senior in your life, be sure that someone takes the car keys away. We've had several cases where someone was last seen driving to the grocery store and ended up being found weeks later pulled off the road into a muddy field.

Also - this is a prime purpose for the Medic Alert bracelets. My dad's worn one for years because he has a shunt on his brain. He's absolutely fine, but if the shunt ever got plugged, he'd be in trouble really quickly.
