Make the home, and every day, safer.
The Dementia Safety Checklist helps family caregivers look at the home and daily routines with fresh eyes, spot potential risks early, and build a practical safety plan that can change as needs change.
A practical safety review for real daily life.
Dementia can change judgment, vision, mobility, communication, routines, and awareness of hazards. This checklist gives caregivers a structured way to review the areas that may need more attention over time.

Lighting, clutter, labels, routines, emergency information, communication, and reassessing safety as abilities change.
Falls & Home Safety
Walkways, stairs, grab bars, flooring, lighting, footwear, furniture, and strategies for unsafe stair access.
Kitchen & Bathroom
Heat, sharp objects, chemicals, medications, water temperature, bathing safety, visibility, and accidental lock-ins.
Bedroom & Nighttime
Night lighting, fall risk, bed safety, nighttime movement, sleep routines, monitoring, and late-day agitation.
Wandering & Getting Lost
Door alerts, safe-return planning, identification, GPS as one layer of a broader plan, neighbors, and first-responder information.
Fire & Emergency Planning
