"The Complete
Guide to
Alzheimer's
Proofing Your
Home"

The following caregiver tips
can provide help for those who
WANDER...
1. Make time for regular exercise and activities that exercise the mind & body.
Moving the body, walking and mental activities will help to minimize
restlessness. MindCare offers a broad selection of activities for senior and for
those with all stages and types of dementia. Find dementia activities HERE
2. Consider installing new keyed locks. Locks should be positioned high or low
on the door as those with dementia tend not to look beyond eye level. Keep
fire and safety concerns in mind for all family members. Locks must be
accessible to others and not take more than a few seconds to open. Be sure
to teach children how to operate any wandering prevention locks installed
throughout the home. Shop for our door locks for dementia HERE
3. Use a barrier like a curtain or sign to mask door to dangerous areas or to
the outside. Our “stop” sign or “do not enter” signs have been found to be the
most effective. Find our wandering prevention signs HERE
4. Consider installing a home monitoring / security system designed to keep
watch over someone with dementia. MindCare offers door alarms that help
keep exit doors monitored. Find our door alarms HERE
5. Conceal essential, personal items such as person’s coat, purse or glasses.
Some of those with dementia will not go outside without certain
belongings. GPS tracking watches with locking wristbands can also be worn.
A tracking watch using global positioning systems (GPS) or cellular
technology to track a person’s whereabouts if a wandering event occurs has
been proven time and time again. Find our selection of Wandering Prevention
GPS Watches HERE
6. Wearing an ID bracelet and sewing ID labels in the clothes of dementia
patients can also help. Have a current photo available should a missing
person's report need to be made. Consider leaving a copy on file at the police
department or register the person with the Alzheimer’s Association Safe
Return program or other emergency tracking service.
7. Tell neighbors about any wandering behavior and make sure they have
your phone number... just in case.

WANDERING - SAFETY
PRODUCTS
Wandering is the single most critical worry for a
caregiver. Those living with dementia, Alzheimer's
and other forms of memory loss have a tendency to
wander whether they are at home or in unfamiliar
surroundings. They are trying to make sense of the
world they find themselves in at that moment.
Our loved-ones or those we care for will sometimes
leave clues that they are about to wander by
announcing that it is time to go home, when in fact
they are home. They may get dressed to go to work
when they stopped working long ago. Their past
memories are now present. Without warning, they
may start to wander into forbidden or dangerous
areas within their own home - and locked doors could
just make a wandering situation more severe.
MindCare offers a selection of products that help
prevent wandering from GPS watches that track
location, to door alarms that alert caregivers to
educational materials that help give insight to
wandering prevention!

WHY PEOPLE WANDER?
• Task Oriented: Most people always have
something to do. Even if they don't,
they create something to keep their
hands and brain busy. People with
dementia relive their former lives and
leave their home believing they are
going to a job or shopping.
• Pain, discomfort and
agitation: Emotions can be reason to
wander. They are not happy in their
present situation so if they move to
another location maybe those symptoms
will not come with them. But in
actuality, they are wandering.
• Loss of Memory: When people become
disoriented due to their present
thoughts disappearing, their reality
being blurred or seeking places that
were once familiar to them, they
wander looking to go back to those
comforting and safe places. They are
searching for their past.
• Disorientation: They may wake up at 5
in the morning and not know if it is
day going into night or night going
into day. They will leave their
surroundings to seek the answer.

Stats . . .
• Some, but not all, people with dementia are prone
to losing track of where they are. Overall,
only 1% of patients are injured while wandering, but
chances of injury rise dramatically the longer they
remain missing.
• "1/2 of all people with dementia who are missing for
more than 24 hours die or are seriously injured," -
Dr. Rupert McShane of Oxford University, who was
referencing one of his own studies. McShane
argued in favor of using tracking devices such as
GPS watched for wandering patients!
• Dr. McShane explains that 40% of dementia
patients get lost at some point, but the real danger
is with those who repeatedly wander away from
their families, private caretakers, or nursing homes.
This repetitive behavior happens in 5% of patients.
It can strain family ties and lead to resentment
between caretakers and dementia sufferers.
Regardless of your patient's or family member's
progression or need, whether at home or in a
facility, MindCare Store has what you need to keep
your mind at ease and the patient you care for
keeping folks safe!

WHY PICTURE MEMORY
PHONES & PHONES w/o
DIAL PADS WORK!
Even in the beginning stages of dementia, or those with early onset
Alzheimer's, people begin forgetting phone numbers. They may need
assistance to remember who they are calling. Our memory picture
phones and dial-less phones are a great aide to the caregivers as
well. The picture phone for seniors can also be programmed to
eliminate calling the advertisements as seen on TV. The telephone is
an appliance that has been in use since childhood and forgetting the
number becomes very frustrating for our senior population.
Phones for dementia, like the memory picture phones can solve
these issues. These memory phones hold photos of family and
caregivers and the buttons can be programmed to call the person
whose picture is placed there. These phones come in two varieties;
the Picture Memory Phone that just has pictures and the Memory
Phone (good for all seniors and elderly as well as children) that have
numbers and pictures. The picture memory phone can also be
programmed with all the buttons only going to one number so that
the "loved one" cannot make any random calls at all and there will
always be an understanding, caring voice at the other end.
Many seniors are up at night and are seduced by the infomercials,
calling to order what is being advertised. By programming all buttons
to one number, you can control this pattern of behavior that can be
common in the elderly and those with dementia. The Dial-less
phone only receives calls. In the middle and late stages of
dementia, confusion can lead to worse situations with your
loved one anxious at the simple thought of dialing out or calling
at inappropriate hours when they are unaware of the time. Our
dial-less phone eliminates that trouble, providing you the
means to reach your loved one without burdening them with the
worries that come with dialing out.

SAFETY, FALL PREVENTION
and MONITORING
Senior Safety is of great importance. Fall prevention is critical to senior
safety. Patients suffering from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or any form of
dementia are often unaware of their own symptoms, and caregivers must
take special precautions to keep them safe. Ensure that your loved one or
patient avoids injuries by outfitting their home with senior citizen safety
products. Senior monitors come in various forms. Bed, chair and mat
alarms are available with remote and mobile receivers. NO loud noise
needs to frighten the patient but with our senior monitoring systems, the
caregiver can be confident that receivers placed around the house and
even on their person can keep them in constant communication.
To ensure senior safety, many products need to be locked up using a
refrigerator lock to combat excessive food consumption and make sure
that drugs are not available. Invisible cabinet locks give a clean look to the
kitchen without baby proofing it. Besides senior monitoring systems,
wandering prevention devices both in the house and outside are
necessary. Seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia or any type of memory loss
are in danger of wandering. Safety devices such as fire rated door murals
and/or a simple stop sign are very popular.
GPS devices as well as emergency information wristbands are the cutting
edge in senior safety technology. As a caregiver of someone with
dementia, you may find them to all of sudden be irritable with no
apparent reason, BUT there is a reason. They may have fallen and broken
a bone and are unable to communicate this to you. It is important to
safety-proof your home and institute a fall prevention program.

light will blink for 30-minutes or until pills are
dispensed. The dispenser can be set up to 6
times daily with six dosage rings.
• The MED-E-LERT dispenser has 28
compartments sized for 18 aspirin sized pills...
which is a 20% larger compartment size than
other automatic pill dispensers. Ideal for in-
home use, by caregivers in an assisted living
facility and fully portable to take on the go.
Programming is retained in memory even
when the batteries are removed or replaced.

Smart Locks
• These clever locks are invisible from the
outside of the cabinet. Once installed, the
cabinet door can only be opened by placing
the magnetic knob-like "key" on the outside
face - in just the right spot. Keep the key
stored safely in a remote location. Useful for
loved-ones who may go into the kitchen at
night and remove food, utensils, glasses, etc.
Perfect for bathroom base cabinets and those
containing medications.
• The secret behind the Invisible Cabinet Lock is
powerful magnets. The lock assembly can
attach to wood, glass, metal, and particleboard
cabinets for a guaranteed safeguard from
those with dementia.
• Adults may be able to outwit or overpower
these safety devices, yet many child-proof
products will serve a very important purpose –
delaying access to dangerous areas long
enough for the caregiver to discover the
attempt and take the appropriate action.

BATHROOM SAFETY for
SENIORS
Bathroom safety products are high on the list when a caregiver
considers what can make a difference. When caring for dementia
patients, the bathroom poses some of the greatest injury risks. For
the new caregivers, we offer learning resources to help the affected
individual maintain their personal hygiene. We also offer safety
products to assist in bathing, such as rinse-free body bath,
shampoo, and body wipes. Water usage alarms and toilet overflow
alarms are also available to help prevent water damage and
accidental slips.
The biggest bathroom danger is the slip/fall and break a bone. This
can happen in a split second without warning. A good example is a
condition called Stranger in the Mirror. This occurs when the person
virtually thinks of themselves in younger years and gets startled
when they see themselves in the bathroom mirror. They quickly turn
around to see who could be in the mirror behind them as this older
version of them is a stranger. When they quickly turn around, they
are more likely to fall. For bathroom safety, we recommend
removing all mirrors in the room or at least covering them up. Some
people go to the extent of removing the cabinet and replacing it with
one of our lockable memory boxes.
There are also great options to assist your loved one, such as the
anti-scalding device, bathing capes, and the Shampoo in a Cap.
The anti-scalding device is not only a great resource to keep the
individual from harming themselves but is also great for the
caregiver when regulating temperature. It is very important to check
the temperature EVERY time the water is being used because
although the temperature can be regulated, how it feels at that time
to the patient can change momentarily. Options like the Shampoo in
a Cap can assist with an affected individual who does not want to
get in to bath or shower. For those with dementia that are
comfortable with bathing, however, you can use a bath cape to
comfort the individual and provide modesty.

Dining with Dementia
For dementia patients and affected family
members, well-designed products fill crucial
needs. At their best, these products can make
daily life simpler for people facing the
challenges of care giving. By using the best
available adaptive dinnerware, caretakers can
leave their diverse wards with the human
dignity people need and deserve, and well-
chosen dinnerware is particularly useful for
limiting the stress of aging and infirmity. When
optimized for solidity and safety, goblets and
plates are perfectly safe for people dealing
with chronic age-related ailments. Senior
clothing protectors minimize the amount of
damage caused by the occasional spill. Plate
guards provide further protection for quieter,
less complicated mealtimes.

HOMECARE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is any
equipment that provides therapeutic benefits to
a patient in need because of certain medical
conditions and/or illnesses so that patients can
achieve greater independence at home. We
provide equipment, ranging from wheelchairs,
walkers to commodes.
Increased knowledge of the importance of
maintaining an active life has led to the older
generation being motivated to remain active.
Mobility is a deciding factor in this process and
when reduced there are obvious risks
associated with inactivity and the ensuing,
rapidly reduced state of health. When mobility is
reduced, the older person’s ability to manage
everyday situations is affected and he/she may
increasingly become dependent on the
resources of relatives or on the community
services.

WALKERS & WHEELCHAIRS
Walkers have been proven to fill an important function in enabling people to
move around independently despite severely diminished functional
capabilities. When a walker is used, the risk of fractures due to falls can be
reduced despite a decline in general status of health. Physical activity is
critical in the process of fracture prevention and the fact that the older
person can walk independently and move around outdoors contributes to
strengthening muscles and skeleton, thus reducing fractures even though a
fall may still occur. A wheelchair is a chair fitted with wheels. The device
comes in variations allowing either manual propulsion by the seated
occupant turning the rear wheels by hand, or electric propulsion by motors.
There are often handles behind the seat to allow for different individuals to
push. Wheelchairs are used by people for whom walking is difficult or
impossible due to illness, injury, or disability. People who have difficulty
sitting and walking often make use of a wheel bench. A basic manual
wheelchair incorporates a seat, footrests and four wheels: two, caster
wheels at the front and two large wheels at the back. The two larger wheels
in the back usually have hand-rims; two metal or plastic circles
approximately 3/4" thick. Wheelchairs assist people to become more mobile
and independent. There are many different types of wheelchairs that are
used for various reasons. It is important to understand the limitations and
safe operation of whatever wheelchair you choose. The chair seat size
(width and depth), seat-to-floor height, footrests/leg rests, front caster
outriggers, adjustable backrests, controls, and many other features can be
customized on, or added to, many basic models, while some users, often
those with specialized needs, may have wheelchairs custom-built.
Wheelchairs are based on individual need, and several factors are
considered. People with the following conditions may benefit from using a
wheelchair: paralysis, musculoskeletal issues, broken bones or injury to the
legs or feet, neurological issues, balance or gait problems, inability to walk
for long distances.
Whether you are the one with the disability or the caregiver of someone who
has limited mobility, shower commode chairs benefit everyone concerned. It
can bring back the simple pleasure of a shower that most people take for
granted. But it also provides the safety and support needed to prevent injury
and make transferring safer. It is natural to take the ability to use the toilet or
take a shower for granted, unless the privileges have been stripped away by
disease and illness. When a caregiver becomes necessary, it definitely
helps to have an assistive aid necessary to make personal care a little
easier. A shower commode chair can be the answer to make life a little
easier!

CLOCKS for DEMENTIA
Why are clocks important to Alzheimer's
patients? People faced with Alzheimer's,
memory loss and Dementia need
structure, routine and focus. They lose
the ability to recognize what time it is
and whether its day or night. Placing
large numbered clocks throughout the
house or even in their room will enable
them to see the time clearly. These clocks
help reduce anxiety about the time of day
and ease the worry of missing an
appointment, your favorite show,
mealtime or any other key event. Clocks
that indicate daytime and nighttime
easily can help from becoming confused
during times of the year when light
changes earlier or later than usual.

Day & Night Clock for
Dementia
• Seniors and patients with dementia sometimes
have difficulty differentiating between the
different times of day. A clock might say 7
o'clock, but the patient might not know whether
that is 7 in the morning or 7 in the evening.
Dementia patients also frequently have
difficulty reading the numbers on digital clocks.
• Recognizable analogue clock face
• Images identify day or night, sun for day, moon
for night
• Helps with night wandering and confusion
• Helps with disorientation to have a clock that
shows whether it’s 7am or 7pm.
• Uses a single AA Battery that is easy to
replace

Calming Pets
There are many benefits of plush toys for adults
experiencing the effects of dementia and
memory loss. Many caregivers report the
positive results of caring for a stuffed toy animal
such as:
• increased happiness and calm
• reduced agitation and anxiety
• increased engagement through playing and
talking with the stuffed animal
• having a sense of purpose from caring for their
pet
• reliving happy memories of a previous pet
• giving visitors something to focus on and
interact with for more successful visits

Games for Dementia (and just fun)
Finding games for dementia patients is a time-consuming job
for most caregivers. Games for dementia, Alzheimer's or any
form of memory loss can range from card games to word
games and from activities to improve dexterity to intellectual
challenges. Games for dementia patients can provide the
mental stimulation dementia sufferers need to stay engaged
and alert while enjoying a vigorous memory workout.
• Games that enhance hand-eye coordination through
manipulation of various parts or pieces
• Games for seniors that strengthen mental capacity through
word-related activities, mental exercises or questions that
encourage the verbal articulation of ideas
• Games that improve recall by encouraging the recollection of
memories via verbal interaction or pictures
• Games that forge mental connections through association.
• By playing the right senior memory games, Alzheimer's and
other dementia sufferers will enjoy hours of fun and healthy
mental and tactile stimulation. Another benefit of games like
these is that they are not only suitable for dementia patients,
but for their family and loved ones as well. Designed for
everyone's enjoyment, these imaginative games are the
perfect way to gather together for quality time.

Brain Games, Puzzles, Memory Activities & More!
• Keeping the mind sharp is instrumental in
helping those with memory loss. Help your
loved-one or patient feel engaged and
entertained. Whether by oneself or as a one-
on-one activity, our set of 4 activity books will
help pass the time in a rewarding way.
We have selected a group of activity books
that are colorful, challenging (medium skill),
and contain a varying array of puzzles, word
searches and games that will help stimulate
the brain!

Games for Fun and Dementia Care

Puzzles
• Puzzles for dementia patients including those in early, middle
and late-stage Alzheimer's provide patients with mental
stimulation. Puzzles for the elderly with dementia provide
comfort and potentially ease some of the symptoms of the
disease. Since most brain diseases deteriorates the brain,
patients need cognitive stimulation to help keep the brain
engaged and active.
• We offer a variety of dementia puzzles for mental stimulation
so caregivers can choose one that best fits the needs of their
patients based on their interest and the progression of the
disease. Those who are in the early stages of dementia, or
any form of memory loss may benefit from a 48-piece puzzle,
while those in more advanced stages may benefit from a
simple four-piece puzzle. We also sell puzzles that make
sounds for additional cognitive stimulation.
• Finding materials that can easily be wiped clean, have
precise fitting interlocking edges and that come in various
sizes and themes are key. Puzzles need to be easy on the
eye and show familiar scenes. Those patients with certain
memory loss can still recognize religious and holiday themes
as well as scenes of the season. Puzzles such as the familiar
covers of The Saturday Evening Post Magazine with the
artistry of Norman Rockwell are very popular along with those
puzzles that make recognizable sounds when the last piece is
put into place. This brings a sense of accomplishment and
definite joy to the user!

PRODUCTS for those with
DEMENTIA
• We have designed the shopping experience of our store to make it easier for the dementia community to find the
products they need for their patients and Loved Ones.
• You can choose to shop either by Stages (Early, Middle, Late), by Category, by browsing our entire store, or by
our most popular products.
• BY STAGE: The products are listed in the Early, Middle and Late stages of memory loss and some of the stages
overlap. A definition of each stage is given on the particular category page.
• ACTIVITIES FOR DEMENTIA: We are constantly looking for new activities to keep the mind sharp, the body in
motion and include verbal communication too.
• BATHROOM SAFETY: The highest accident rate in a home occurs in a bathroom. If a patient is traumatized in
the bathroom, it can lead to them only using it with an escort. Keeping a loved one independent longer is the best
approach.
• BOOKS & DVDS: Our collection of DVDs provide hours of soothing relaxation. and we continue to add to our
selection. We carry many popular books in different categories; from our newest offer that introduces a child to
her grandfather's Alzheimer's to How To Alzheimer's Proof Your Home, which is a step-by-step guide for
everything about the disease.
• CLOCKS: Our collection of clocks are strictly meant for those with memory loss. They are easy to read and give
the pertinent information. Reminder Rosie is a little different as its primary function is not so much as a clock you
read but as one that announces the time as well as any recorded message the caregiver wants to be played at a
particular time. Please see the video as it is a treat.
• CLOTHING: Our clothing line and protectors are loose fitting and easy to wear.
• DINING: We are the exclusive distributor of FIND products in North America. Our Safety Glassware and
Dinnerware are designed and produced by FIND. They are used in most every memory facility in England. We
continue to search the world and design new product to make the dining experience safe and enjoyable.
• DOLL THERAPY: Our assortment of dolls are used by many of the major reminiscence facilities throughout
North America. Dolls and Teddy Bears can be seen as a play-thing but when used in a proper therapy manner
can be just the right amount of responsibility to keep the patient occupied and happy.
• GAMES: Games are particularly useful to the caregiver to determine what stage of dementia the patient has
advanced to. It is very helpful for the caregiver to have one of our Tote Bags filled with several activities (at a
discounted price) when first going to a home. Many care agencies buy them and loan them out to a caregiver
when they make their initial visit.
• INCONTINENCE PRODUCTS: There are plenty of products on the market. We feature the Tranquility brand as
we have tested them all side by side and in our opinion, this is the best. They do cost more but are cheaper in
the long run because you use less. Once a customer tries them, they always come back for more.
• MUSIC THERAPY: Beside songs for all occasions, some with sing-along books and DVDs, we have an old-
fashioned music player that is preloaded with 40 songs, but you can add to the venue by downloading your own
favorites. We continue to bring you new selections and your suggestions are greatly appreciated especially in
faith-based music.
• MEMORY PHONES: Our selection on memory phones handles the progression of the disease. These keep your
loved one safe.
• PUZZLES: We have a large selection of the best puzzles and growing all the time. They are not difficult and are
available for every stage.
• SAFETY FOR SENIORS: These products are meant to keep our loved ones safe, so we grouped them together.
• TEEPA SNOW: Teepa is the foremost training specialist in the world. She should get the Academy Award for
producing, writing and staring in these must have videos. If you are going to be the family caregiver, buy them
and watch them repeatedly for training methods on how to handle interactive situations. Also, her FREE book on
our site will give you a great background to ascertain that "maybe its not Alzheimer's."
• WANDERING: We have the cutting edge of products from GPS devices to fire rated door murals and from
motion detectors to memory boxes. But the NUMBER ONE MUST HAVE is the EMERGENCY MEDICAL ALERT
BRACELET. Please note that we offer quantity discounts to facilities.
• Whichever way you choose to shop, our products will assist you, the caregiver, to manage and improve the daily
life of your loved one and make their day a less stressful and rewarding one.
