Don’t assume anything in dementia care!

Assumptions can get you into trouble in any situation, but especially in dementia care. Don’t assume that your loved ones won’t get out of the house and wander off, don’t assume they won’t fall on the steps. Don’t assume they won’t put something in their mouth that is dangerous for them or fiddle with knives or scissors. An occupational therapist can do a safety assessment in your home. Take precautions and remember safety first! #dementiacaregiver #caregiver #dementia #dementiacare #safety #dianechew
