added Eisler. "Door locks placed up high, electronic keypads, locks that
require a two-step release mechanism and door alarms are all appropriate
ways to help keep them in the home."
Many individuals with cognitive challenges may become confused. One
common challenge is not recognizing themselves in a mirror, which is especially problematic in bathrooms when they first walk in. When they see
themselves, they think someone else is in the bathroom and leave. In these
cases, it is sometimes best to move or remove the mirror.
"For every client, especially those with cognitive challenges, we work hard
to blend form and function," said Alan Zielinski, CKD, CLIPP, and the
2012 president of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. "For example,
we try to not put cabinets too high or low. To make it easy to find items in
the kitchen, we use glass-panel doors on upper cabinets, and we use decals,
pictures or photos on cabinet doors and drawers - and even on doors to the
pantry, bedroom, bathroom, etc."
Zielinski also suggests installing magnetic cabinet doors and drawer
catches, as well as additional locks on doors that need to be off-limits. For
stoves or cooktops, he and his team install devices that will control how
long and when a stove can be used, as he says we are all prone to forgetting
to turn off a burner.
Melissa Lydecker, a PT, CLIPP, and accessibility consultant at Bridgeway Independent Living Designs, uses contrasting colors to help clients
navigate through the home to help them find toilets, light switches, handrails and doors. She added that depending on the client's ability and safety,
a dark-colored floor mat in front of an entrance may or may not be the
best suggestion.
"A therapist would consider the confusion this might cause, as a cognitively
challenged individual may perceive this as a hole and avoid it,"she explained.
"An OT or PT who understands and has experience with individuals who
demonstrate safety concerns is a vital asset to a design and remodeling team
working with them."
The most important consideration for helping individuals with cognitive
challenges is to assemble the appropriate interprofessional team. Including
medical professionals, as needed, is vital to your client's well-being and your
business. Your clients, their family members and caregivers will appreciate
you, and you will be able sleep better at night knowing you have offered them
the best solutions.
