Spouse with cognitive problems and finances

He has been better at using his walker but this time he was headed for bed (4pm).
Googling to see if there is anything on the market that can be used to assist in getting him off the floor. Tried using his toilet safety rail but that didn't work. He has no body strength at all.
Lately he has been demanding the car keys - which I gave to our daughter. I decided I shouldn't be driving either as my reactions aren't good. Time for Uber if Robin can't! Time to sell the car.

As far as falling at night, this is a bad situation. I would get him a pillow and blanket and tell him I will be back later - or tell him he has to use a walker or I will let him lie there. I’m sorry, unless it is an emergency, I would let him lie on the floor and, as I said, continue to bargain with him. He is playing with fire again!
