UK Elder Care Workshop On Safety and Dementia

Safety for our older loved ones is a priority for caregivers. But the safety of someone living with Alzheimer’s (or other type of dementia) may be impacted due to the confusion, memory loss and disorientation commonly associated with the disease, as well as a common inability to carry out everyday tasks. Now combine this with the physical limitations and challenges of getting older and you see how our older loved ones are at a high safety risk. Kelly discussed what safety measures can be put in place to help your loved one in their dementia journey.
