This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

www.aginginplace.com
I accidentally discovered the above website which looks good. The National Association of Home Builders and AARP have developed a designation and certification process called Aging in Place which uses universal design concepts to modify homes so that people who are aging and/or disabled can stay in their homes. The site offers more than construction tips; however, it also had information on a cell phone design and plan designed for an elder. It had lists of resources. It might be a good site to consult if you need or want to make modifications for the person for whom you care.
