Can't find toilet, nighttime wandering

mike862,
My husband has Alzheimer's and last night he got disoriented and fell while trying to get to the bathroom. Luckily, he didn't break any bones, but he got pretty banged up trying to grab a chair on the way down. I am going to get a nightlight for our bedroom and hopefully that will help him.

@katrina123 I tend to stay up later than my husband and didn’t like moving around a dark house. I have an autoimmune disease that makes my walking unsteady. So my husband put night lights in the bathrooms and motion detector lights in the hallways and on the stairs. What a difference!! The motion detector lights are small and put out just enough light to see by. And I just love it!
