Make Floors Less Confusing to Someone With Alzheimer's

Take a closer look at a loved one's floors if he or she has dementia. Any irregularities in floor appearance can be perceived as a change in elevation or depth, making his or her gait unsteady. So consider installing tight-weave, wall-to-wall carpeting in a room that now has varying textures or is half-carpet and half-wood, for example, and eliminate throw rugs.
