Having someone else live in the home with the person with dementia can be a great additional resource for keeping them safe and healthy. This can help provide more oversight into all aspects of home safety.

If the person with dementia is living alone, please consider if this is the safest possible solution - do you feel comfortable with them being alone currently? Do you see any potential safety concerns in the future? If they live with someone else, is this person capable of providing care for them? Who else could help?

Think now about your situation - does the person with dementia live with anyone that can keep them safe and healthy? Are there any alternatives that you could consider in making this change towards safety?
