Surely a person with dementia is not capable of handling all the household chores. However, they can help declutter, meaning they can help remove all non-essential and unnecessary items from overcrowded places.

Fran Vandelli, the lead researcher of the dementia study said, “Removing trip hazards is important for all older people, as our balance and sight decrease with age.”

“It’s particularly helpful for those with dementia who can struggle with their sense of depth or perception, putting them at higher risk of falls,” he adds.

He further notes, “Given people with dementia may struggle to find things, decluttering makes it easier to find what they need – helping them stay independent for longer.”
