a simple picture
It may seem silly but a simple picture and some arrows may help you out. If you are noticing that the person you care for is starting to look for their room or can’t find where the coffee mugs are, then it may be helpful to put up a few signs to direct them where items are. It can help keep the person independent by using the cues/signs you put up for them. Bathroom? Put up the toilet picture and a couple of arrows to show which way. Coffee mugs or other kitchen items? Put some stickie notes on the cabinets or masking tape. “My Mom is driving me crazy cause she is always opening all the cabinets and slamming them shut when she can’t find what she is looking for.” Okaaaay. Well, put up the stickies. They will help you and them….
