12. Breakables
Anything that has value to you, you may want to move. Your loved one may bump in to a table and knock things off- accidently. He may also hurt himself on the broken objects.

13. Guns
If guns are located in your home, lock them up. I cannot stress this enough.

14. Car Keys
If you are caring for a loved one who still wants to drive, it is a good idea to hide your keys. Your loved one may just want to take a drive one day. Hide them in a secure place.

15. Final Note
Anything you can do to safe guard a home for a young child, you can use for your loved one. Baby monitors are fantastic for detecting where your loved one is. Safety plugs for electrical sockets are very helpful too.

These tips are just guidelines and to give you some ideas as to what to look for. Each situation is different.
