home SAFETY

Taking care of someone who has dementia can be hard. While it doesn’t necessarily mean that the person is no longer safe to live at home, there are some important home safety issues to know about.


When my mom was first diagnosed, I didn’t think too much about my home - I thought it was already safe and comfortable. But as time went on, I quickly realized I could do a lot more to improve things for the both of us.

My brother always thought of his ranch as a safe place to live, even after his diagnosis, but after spending some time there, I realized that there’s a lot we could do to make it safer for both him and his children.

It was hard for me to think about moving my dad out of the house, but I eventually realized that it was important for me to keep him safe, even it if means him living somewhere else.

I’ve lived in this home for over 40 years and I don’t want this disease to change that. This means that I need to take actions now to make sure I stay safe here, now and in the future.
