http://www.remembering4you.com Alzheimer's Care - The care of a loved one with Alzheimer's is a noble yet difficult calling. We are here for support and education in this process. Things to not overlook are minor issues in your home that can turn into dangerous obstacles and for your loved one. We will embark on a short series to help point out these issues and help you to keep your loved one safe.

The Bathroom

In the early stages of Alzheimer's, many people can perform basic hygiene, although someone should always remain close. To help preserve your loved one's independence as long as possible, consider installing these devices:
Raised toilet seats
Grab or side bars on and around the tub and toilet areas
Non-skid mats in the tub and a safe, non-skid floor surface
Getting in and out of the tub is often quite frightening for those with Alzheimer's, as well as their caregivers, so consider using a stool or shower chair to reduce the apprehension and fear of falling.

Additional bathroom safety tips include:
Remove items from shelving.
Ensure the water temperature on the house meter is no higher than 120-degrees.
