Home Safety

As dementia progresses, changes in memory, judgment, mobility, and problem-solving can affect how a person safely navigates their home and community. Thoughtful adaptations to the living environment can help reduce risks while supporting independence and confidence.

This session explores practical home safety considerations both inside and outside the home, including mobility, fall prevention, bathroom safety, kitchen safety, and the use of assistive devices. You'll also learn how small environmental modifications and accessible equipment can make everyday activities safer and more manageable for both the person living with dementia and their care partner.

By identifying potential hazards and making proactive adjustments, you can help create a safer, more supportive environment that promotes comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
