What about the refrigerator door, does that count? Did you ever forget what you were looking for in the refrigerator?

Sometimes I go to the fridge to see what looks yummy. My Indian name is "She who eats at night".

This is why in a proper Memory Care community in an Assisted Living you will notice that the transitions going through a door are carefully planned as people with advanced memory issues do not like crossing thresholds. This is one of the things to look for when choosing a community for your loved one.
