[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not leave this person alone. Must be monitored 24/7. Sorry. Absolutely no driving. Hide the keys/their license. Remove car battery if you must. No showering w/o supervision and I suggest a shower chair. No up/down stairs without assistance. No in/out bed without assistance. Likely a written memory type standardized test will be administered in office. Make certain DH or other responsible party takes notes during appointment or record on your phone. [/quote] Good advice, to which I’d add: unplug or disable stove. Install scald guard on bath and faucets. [b]Remove or cover mirrors. [/quote][/b] Can you explain this? I’m dealing with a recently diagnosed parent and the other parent is both in denial and covering up for spouse and has been for quite some time. The other things mentioned make sense, but why cover up mirrors? Do they get startled or scared of their own reflections? [/quote]
