I suggest a key safe and don't give her the code to get in only you and the carers have thatHi , I'm moving mum next door, the house is rented and has a yale latch and old fashioned lock attached to inside, which i can just tell her there's no key for it. but how do i stop her locking us out has there is only one door. She has done this before . Any help with this will be welcome , I'm tearing my hair out trying to solve this puzzle before she gets here in 2 weeks time. she wont lock herself out has she wears her key around her neck at all times. thanks Denie
My wife and I have had quite a discussion about your post. We agree that I would be really but really annoyed if I thought someone was having information to get into our house that I didn't have.I suggest a key safe and don't give her the code to get in only you and the carers have that

My wife asked me if I knew the code to our key safe. I agree I've been told it, but no I can't remember it. I also agree that I've been told where it is, but finding things in the filing cabinet are way beyond me these days.
We've come to the agreement that I would be fine if I was told these things but that I would very quickly forget them. I'm learning to live with my dementia, and do what I can. What I can't I'm learning not to worry about. On good days it doesn't worry me that neighbours and those sent round by the lifeline service can get in. On bad days nothing worries me
Hi we have that at present but she locks them out . thanks for replyI suggest a key safe and don't give her the code to get in only you and the carers have that
Hi Mum is alone 200 miles away and they are trying to put her in a home as she keeps locking carers out, she does not like strangers telling her what to do, so we have decided to rent the house next door so she gets company everyday and meals and medication, has the 200 mile (400mile round trip) emergency call outs are taking there toll on my already compermized health , i have rhuematoid arthritis. we have manage for almost a year, being called out up to twice a month. we cannot move to her due to having this house converted to my needs.So has the new house has only one door she cannot lock us out , if she needs emergency care or for other reasons , so please this is hard enough watching a very healthy vibrant lady cry like a little girl because she is lonely and cannot go out because she can no longer find her way home , if you have a better sugestion please comment but dont judge until you know at least some of the facts.

Thank you for understanding. The angry response really has upset mePlease bear in mind that John51 has dementia, and was trying to give you an insight into how he finds things with his dementia. He has eloquently documented his struggles with dementia from pre diagnosis whilst he was working to where he is now, and he was trying to offer some help.
