Environmental Suggestions

Having a set place for regularly used items can make it easier to find them when needed, and may help to maintain independence.

Moving items that are regularly used down to a level between shoulder and hip height can assist by bringing the items into your field of vision thus making them easier to see and reach.

Simplifying the environment – removing excess clutter can make it easier to find things.

Using labels and signs or removing some cupboard doors may help a person find and replace items.
