Hi, I am new to this forum (registering today after speaking to Alzheimers society). My mum has dementia (diagnosed now for about 4 years) and we are looking to have her come and live with us within the next 9-12 months. The reason for the delay is we are looking to extend the house giving her her own room with ensuite and a sort of living room area. The plan is she moves in with us once the build is complete. I was wondering if anyone can help me with ideas for what I need to consider when planning an extension as not only will we be making an extra room for her to sleep in, we will create a bigger kitchen to incorporate a kitchen / diner. Therefore any suggestions for key equipment or ideas of what we should / need to include / install in the build would be a big help...eg are there certain ovens that are safer to install to prevent burns or gas leaks (both for the safety of my mother but also the rest of the family). Are there any features we need to consider for wandering? When I or other family members have stayed with her, she is up most nights fixating on issues from a leaky overflow (no leaky overflow) to something she has done in the day or spoken about - granted not every night but obviously she has no recollection of the moving around if questioned the next morning, in fact she gets quite narky as though we are making the whole thing up. I am also worried that she will get really disorientated as the place we live in is about an hour away from where she lives now and she hasn't been there for a long time as we tend to meet at hers or at other family members / friends houses. I spoke to the carers helpline this morning but they said we shouldn't do anything before we move in after the build but i think surely being forewarned must be a benefit, if not just for saving time and cost ?!?! Thanks for advance - hope someone can help
