If your loved one can’t do three of the things we discuss in this episode, they should not be home alone. As caregivers for our husbands, parents, and other loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, we both know that one of the early goals for our loved one is to help them maintain their independence as long as it's reasonable. You’ll be balancing your concern for their safety with their independence, remembering their ability to stay home alone is temporary. We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster, and through our experiences, we're sharing six key tips for supporting your loved one's ability to be home alone.
