Perhaps now it belongs on a shelf advertising

the eggs must go in the egg tray

easier for Dad to handle them if
they’re stored in the meat tray. If
that hallway table, always a per-
manent fixture, is becoming a
dangerous obstacle, move it.
◆ Look behind closed doors.
Many seniors will close off parts
of a house they no longer use. Be
sure to check those areas regular-
ly for mold or water damage.
Don’t close vents to crawl spaces.
◆ Talk to your parents about
why and how they do things,
then look for ways to simplify
their lives. If your mom’s
immaculate floors are now regu-
larly dirty, think about how she’s
been doing that job all these
years and offer options. Rather
than a heavy mop and bucket,
check out lightweight, all-in-one
mops. Look for smooth-top stoves
and refrigerators with water and
ice on the outside. Change door-
knobs to levers, or purchase grips
that can go on conventional
knobs. Convert single-bulb light
fixtures to multiple bulbs, so
seniors still have light when one
bulb burns out.
◆ Consider security. Think
about potential dangers lurking
within your loved one’s home.
Lock-in switches on thermostats
and stoves will keep seniors with
dementia and Alzheimer’s dis-
ease from harming themselves.
Help them manage in their envi-
ronment by installing a cordless
