Скачать или смотреть Alzheimer's Kitchen Safety: Drawer-Latch Installation for Caretakers

The kitchen presents many potential dangers for people who have Alzheimer's Disease or other forms of dementia.

Drawers may contain chemicals, cutlery and knives, lighters and matches, and other miscellaneous tools with which a cognitively impaired person may hurt him- or herself.

In this video, I walk you through the installation of an inexpensive drawer safety/security latch.

For a link to the latch that I used, see:

It is available in several department and home-improvement stores under the "childproofing" section. There are numerous similarities between Alzheimer's proofing a house and baby proofing it. For a brief overview of some of these overlapping aspects, see:
