If your parent's Alzheimer's makes it hard for her to remember where the bathroom is in the middle of the night, put down reflective tape along the floor and install motion-activated nightlights that plug into a hall socket and light up only as you walk past (about $15 at hardware stores). This creates a path to the bathroom that's easy to see at night while remaining unobtrusive by day.
