Address the wallet problem immediately. He likes to have cash; no need for it, but who does it hurt? I've removed all his medical cards and Medicare card that would be a pain to replace and made copies of them. He has only one credit card...I've simplified and only have 2 cards and a debit card myself. He has his driver's license for ID; he can no longer drive because of ALZ, so it isn't essential. Before bed, I have insisted that his pockets get emptied, and all items get placed on bedstand for use the next day. (wallet, comb, key with airtag, phone with Friend Finder). He puts a handkerchief over the pile for safety. From what? Whatever works.

@billiekip-Thank you! I will address the wallet problem. Great plan, to make copies of medical cards, as they would definitely be a pain to replace. And one credit card. Thanks for all the great suggestions! Now I need to google “Friend Finder”. He once went on a ski trip with his cousin, who was beginning this horrible journey. When it came time to leave, they could not find the cousin’s wallet anywhere. It caused cousin’s wife a lot of headaches! A few weeks later, a person cleaning the hotel room found the wallet in the Kleenex dispenser under a stack of tissues.

ps. As an aside, I found the butter dish inside the kitchen drawer than holds my cooking utensils. I had to laugh when I showed a friend. He said, "Well, it fits."
