Hi everyone
I've been a member for many years since seeking advice about my dad but this is about my father in law. He has vascular dementia, is 94, lives alone in a remote village in Scotland, and has just started having carers come in this week.
He loves his greenhouse and will pop in and out the house all day, although he is almost blind and unsteady on his feet. Recently though he has started to leave the house unlocked night and day. The carers lock the door and use the key safe but we are worried he is either locked in or at risk from intruders if doors are unlocked.
Does anyone have any experience of this please? Thanks in advance.
