  cords, rugs, or clutter that can cause your loved
  one to trip or fall. Also, handrails and grab
  bars can be installed in the areas that are
  important and riskier.

• Utilize locks??Any item that is dangerous or
  even has the potential to be a dangerous thing
  must be put behind locks and keys. It includes
  medicine, alcohol, dangerous tools, weapons, and
  toxic chemicals. If you find it too difficult to
  do this and fear for your loved one, you may
  consider senior day care Las Vegas.

• Consider fire safety??Always remember to keep
  matches and lighters out of their way. If your
  loved one who has Alzheimers has a habit of
  smoking, then make sure that they are always
  under supervision. Also make sure that the smoke
  alarms contain fresh batteries and the fire
  extinguishes is always present and easily
  accessible at all times.

  becoming less and less independent. At the same
  time, being open and remaining flexible to
  adopting new routines can make the process much
  easier to handle.

  bathing, you may consider dropping how many times
  he/she is bathed in a week??drop the frequency.
• By being open and receptive to alterations and
  changes, things will get much easier for the
  person with Alzheimers as well as the person
  caring for them. And being flexible is not really
  a trait that your loved one has, then you may
  consider assisted living Las Vegas where all
  their needs will be taken care of in a very safe
