Making a home safer for a parent with memory loss does not mean turning it into a hospital ward. That is distressing, and it is usually not necessary.
It means targeted changes. Grab bars and a shower chair in the bathroom. Turning the water heater down so a hot tap cannot scald. Motion sensor lights for night trips. Clearing throw rugs and trailing cords. Stove k**b covers. Contrast tape on stair edges.
One thing families often get wrong: do not rearrange the furniture. A familiar layout is doing more work than you think.
Our new room by room guide covers the whole house, and how to keep safety and dignity in balance.
