There are floor mats that can be placed by door to outside, to warn caregiver about patient wandering. I've seen them on Amazon, and I'm sure they have them at medical supply stores.

I feel compelled to share a mat story I just heard at an ALZ meeting. The mom was a wanderer. When she was confronted with a small black rug wouldn't step on it because it looked like a hole to her. The rug was moved in front of the front door, and she never approached the door again for fear of falling into the abyss.
