The question from the OP was about locking a person with dementia in the home and leaving them alone while out to do shopping.
Its completely different to locking doors to keep the person with dementia safe and staying with them.
Secure units in care homes are always staffed and people with dementia are not alone. There are procedures to be adopted during emergencies.
I locked doors to keep my husband from going walkabout but he was never left alone.
