๐ฒ In the kitchen, everyday products can easily be mistaken for food or used in the wrong way by someone living with dementia. This increases the risk of accidental poisoning.
RoSPAโs poisoning prevention checklist offers simple guidance that helps carers reduce risks while enabling people to stay involved in daily tasks, such as:
- Improving safe storage of food and non-food items
- Creating clear routines and prompts
- Reducing confusion around household products
- Putting simple safety measures in place.
