Printable Dementia Home-Safety Checklist
Print this room-by-room dementia safety checklist and review it with family and the person’s clinician. Check exits, cooking, medicines, falls, nighttime routines, emergency contacts and supervision. Revisit it after any fall, wandering event, hospitalization or meaningful change.
Identity and emergency plan
Keep a current photo, emergency contacts, clinician details, medication list and an agreed missing-person response plan.
Entrances and wandering
Check locks without blocking emergency escape, door alerts, outdoor hazards, identification and trusted-neighbor awareness.
Kitchen and medicines
Review stove safety, sharp tools, cleaning products, medication storage and who supervises doses.
Bathroom, bedroom and night
Check grab support, lighting, trip hazards, temperature, bathroom route and who responds overnight.
Who this is for
Families creating a shared written safety review
When this may not be the right option
A substitute for an individualized clinical, occupational-therapy or emergency assessment
Talk through the details
Ask Pink Glove Care for the current schedule, rate, minimum hours, screening details and agreement terms that apply to your family. Get the answers in writing before care begins.
