Environmental Suggestions
The following environmental solutions can be used in and around the home:
Disguising a Doorway may reduce the likelihood of a person with dementia using a door. Consider either painting the door and frame so that it blends in with the surrounding décor, or placing a full sized photographic mural on the door to disguise it;
A Stop Sign or Stop Flag placed on, or across, a doorway or exit may deter the person from using the doorway;
Portable Fencing available for loan through some community health services can be used around the immediate boundary of remote properties and homesteads to reduce the risk of a person becoming lost.
