Can somebody please explain the dangers of living with someone with short-term memory loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk factors: The afflicted person can forget to turn off the stove or oven, and, if a smoker, could be careless with fire. Folks with dementia have burned down their houses. Driving becomes very dangerous. Important to be proactive, and look toward preventative approaches.
