Ways to Make the Home Safer for Seniors With Dementia

ways-to-make-the-home-safer-for-seniors-with-dementia

Our senior care services in California include dementia care to help make the home safer and more comfortable for seniors with dementia. Families can also make the home safe for their elderly loved ones with dementia by:

  • Marking Doors and Windows

    Increasing confusion is one of the symptoms of dementia. Marking doors and windows with stickers and signs can help seniors orient themselves at home and prevent them from accidentally getting lost outside. Marking windows and glass doors also helps seniors avoid accidentally bumping into them. Our companionship services in California can also provide seniors with safety supervision to prevent accidents at home.

  • Lock Away Harmful Supplies and Appliances

    Seniors living with dementia can accidentally ingest harmful cleaning chemicals, especially colorless ones or those that resemble fruit drinks. They can also accidentally hurt themselves when operating kitchen appliances like blenders. Keep seniors safe by locking away these types of supplies and devices. Our homemaking services can help families keep these materials far from the reach of their elderly loved ones.

  • Keep the Home Peaceful and Quite

    Loud noises and mess can cause stress and anxiety in seniors with dementia, aggravating them and increasing the risks of accidents and falls at home. Maintain better safety and dementia care at home by minimal noise, clutter, and mess.
