Alzheimer’s Association amplifies home safety - WTVG
TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - June is national safety month and the Alzheimer’s Association is encouraging caregivers and families of loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia to stress the importance of home safety.There are more than 6 million Americans over age 65 living with Alzheimer’s; 220,000 of those are Ohio residents.
“The brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s or other dementia affect each person differently and can pose new safety concerns and considerations that may have not existed previously,” said Pam Myers, program director of the Alzheimer’s Association Northwest Ohio Chapter. “These can include changes in the individual’s physical ability, judgment and behavior.”
The Northwest Ohio Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is hosting an educational program to highlight the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease at Little Flower Catholic Parish in Toledo.
10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s is a free program available June 6 from 12:00 P.M. to 12:45 P.M. on 5522 Dorr St. The program will go over signs of the disease, how to approach someone about memory concerns and the importance of early detection and benefits of a diagnosis.
Pre-registration is required, call the 24/7 association helpline at 800-272-3900.
The Alzheimer’s Association offers a home safety checklist to help keep loved ones safe some of these include:
Evaluate the environment- Pay attention to garages, basements and outside areas where there are likely to be tools, chemicals, cleaning supplies and other items that may require supervision.
Be prepared for emergencies- Prepare a list of emergency phone numbers and addresses for local police and fire departments, hospitals and poison control helplines. Also keep fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors handy.
Install locks out of sight- Put deadbolt locks either high or low on exterior doors to make it hard for the person to wander out of the home. Keep an extra set of keys hidden near door for easy access. Remove locks in bathrooms or bedrooms to prevent the person from locking themselves in.
Keep walkways well lit- Add extra lights to entries, doorways, stairways and bathrooms. Nightlights are helpful in preventing accidents and reducing disorientation.
Remove tripping hazards- Keep surfaces clutter-free, keep extension cords tucked away, remove through rugs or smaller furniture items that can be a tripping hazard.
Place medications in a locked place- To ensure that medications are taken safely, use a pillbox organizer or keep a daily check list.
Avoid injury in the bathroom- Install walk-in showers, add grab bars to shower or tub, add textured stickers to slippery surfaces and set the water temperature in sinks and tubs to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or less to prevent scalding.
Remove or secure firearms and other weapons- Weapons may present unexpected danger in the home of a person with dementia. Dementia can cause a person to mistake their caregiver or family member as an intruder, or they could lack the cognitive ability to use a firearm safely.
“Taking measures to improve safety can prevent injuries and help a person with dementia feel more relaxed, less overwhelmed, and maintain his or her independence longer,” said Myers. “It is important for families to re-evaluate safety plans as the disease progresses and safety issues change. Our chapter offers free care consultations and educational programs that offer help to families who are concerned about these and other issues in caring for loved ones with dementia.”
To learn more about home safety, including tips on wandering, driving and medication safety, visit alz.org/nwohio or call (419) 537-1999 or the 24/7 helpline at (800) 272-3900.

Nosy Neighbor Slammed for Wasting Police Resources After Calling Cops on Couple Who Let Their Dog Go to the Bathroom on Their Own Patio - PopCrush
A disgruntled homeowner went a little too far when they called the authorities on their neighbors' dog for going to the bathroom outside — despite it being on the neighbors' own property.Taking to Reddit, the anonymous person explained the couple who live next door lets their dog go to the bathroom on their own patio, which infuriates them.
"I have some neighbors, a young couple around their 20s. They've lived in the apartment next to mine for two years. They have a dog. A small one," they wrote via Reddit.
"I've always noticed them taking the dog on walks but for the past two months, I just see them putting some pads on their patio and letting the dog s--t and pee there," they continued.
They noted they've made multiple "complaints" to the neighbors, calling them "lazy," and even telling them "to give up the dog if they can't care for it properly."
The couple have defended themselves against the constant criticism, explaining they clean up after their dog each time and walk it "every night."
"The girl also said it's none of my business why she and her boyfriend don't take the dog out on walks and they don't have to answer to me," the Reddit user continued. "The next morning I called the police on them. Authorities came and inspected and said that no laws are broken as long as the area is getting cleaned up daily."
The police also told the disgruntled Reddit user that the "couple [have] their reasons" and it's none of their business. Later, they found out from other neighbors that the neighbor is pregnant, so her partner takes the dog out late at night while the woman rests.
The Reddit user detailed that everyone who lives in the "building is now hostile" toward them.
In the comments, other Reddit users slammed the nosy neighbor for getting the police involved.
"I can't even imagine why anyone would think this was not OK, let alone a police matter. You just made a building full of enemies all because you are nosy and intrusive," one person wrote.
"You're a neighbor from hell. What an absolute waste of police resources," another commented.
"There are many reasons why people can't walk their dog. The dog may have an injury that's healing, it may have developed arthritis and can't walk as much or as long without pain, or a slew of other reasons that are none of your business," someone else shared.

Restaurant Hoppen: Best spots in Omaha for patio dining - KMTV 3 News Now Omaha
MenuQuick — imagine the perfect patio.
I’m guessing you’re picturing a sunny, sprawling space with comfortable seating, cold drinks and decor that transports you out of Nebraska into a more tropical locale.
That’s all great… but wouldn’t it be even better with a fantastic plate of food?
Not all restaurants with great patios serve top-of-the-line eats, just as many of Omaha’s finest eateries don’t have a patio. But when you find somewhere that offers both, it makes for an epic meal experience. Here are five awesome Omaha restaurant patios that supply sun, shade and scrumptious snacks.
Nite Owl
Nite Owl’s interior is similar to that of a college bachelor’s house: it’s dark, quirky, and features one-of-a-kind artwork (not to mention the giant TV playing so-bad-they're-good '80s movies). But the patio offers a different vibe. It’s relatively small, giving it a cozy, exclusive feel.
And the food is better than you’ll find at any bar in the city. The burger, with two brilliant smashed patties, is among Omaha’s finest. The wings are plump, crispy, and coated with creative, delicious sauces. There are few better appetizers to share than a plate of Tot-chos (crispy tater tots smothered in gooey queso, cooling crema, and a fresh, vibrant salsa verde). And Nite Owl treats its craft cocktails like an art form — these offerings, which change with the seasons, are artfully composed and put most bars’ offerings to shame.
La Buvette
Want to spend an afternoon at a French cafe without jumping across the pond? Order a bottle of wine and some shareable plates at La Buvette, a wine bar and grocery that’s provided an intimate, inviting space for Omahans to dine, sip, and shop for more than 30 years.
The menu at this downtown locale changes every day, constantly giving guests something new to try. From pastas to salads, sandwiches, and meat and cheese boards, La Buvette has a French dish for any desire, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find tastier bread service. And the wine selection is downright ridiculous — patrons can pick a bottle off the racks inside, then savor it on the sunny patio outdoors.
To top it all off, you can’t beat the people watching downtown. Any meal on La Buvette’s patio doubles as dinner and a show.
Taco Co.
If there were a picture of “Taco Tuesday” in the dictionary, it would be of Taco Co.’s patio. Located off the backside of the restaurant, the wooden fences and walls of other buildings give the space a secluded, intimate feeling. With both bench and high-top table seating, this patio simply screams summer.
The restaurant is known for its margaritas, group drinks served in fishbowls, and alcohol pouches (think a Capri Sun, but for adults), not to mention its strong selection of Mexican beers. They’re all great for washing down Taco Co.’s famous puffy tacos, which stuff various meats inside fried shells that have perfect crispiness on the outside, yet somehow maintain the soft, doughy texture of a flour tortilla on the interior. Whether you want to celebrate happy hour in style or chow down on some of Omaha’s best tacos (or both), the Taco Co. patio is your place.
Pacific Eating House
There’s absolutely nothing like eating a meal outdoors in Hawaii. The warm rays of the sun are cooled by a gentle breeze as you savor fish so fresh it tastes like it was swimming five minutes ago.
Given that it’s in the middle of the country, Pacific Eating House isn’t that. But it’s as close to that life-altering experience as I’ve found in the Midwest.
The owners are Seattle transplants, and they’re so committed to wild-caught (“farmed” is a dirty word here) fish that all their seafood is sourced from Hawaii or Seattle. It tastes so clean and fresh that you’ll swear you’re dining on a coast. The wine and beer menus are extensive and the “Tiki Libations” are fruity and clever. And while the patio doesn’t offer incredible ambiance, the fact that you can enjoy this level of fresh catch in Omaha in a shaded, spacious area is a dream.
La Casa Pizzaria (Pacific Springs location)
An Omaha institution since 1953, any Omahan worth their salt has had a taste of La Casa Pizzaria’s pizza. These rectangular, thin-crust pies are an important part of Omaha’s food history. From the cult-favorite hamburger pizza to the brilliant double-crust Cudduruni, La Casa’s pizzas have delighted Omahans for nearly 70 years.
But La Casa isn’t all about tradition, and its newest location (located off 168th and Pacific) embraces modern aesthetics. That includes an inviting outdoor patio, complete with two courts for bocce ball. For a casual summer gathering, La Casa offers pizza patio perfection.
BONUS: Fariner Bakery
So technically it’s in Ashland, not Omaha. But Fariner’s atmosphere, especially on the new patio, is so charming, it’s absolutely worth the short trek outside the city.
Open in the morning for coffee and pastries or in the evening for wine, fresh breads, and small-batch cheeses, this patio is captivatingly rustic and beautiful. With some of the best-baked goods in the area (the cinnamon roll is a must-try), excellent coffee, and a quiet, intimate space, this is a great place to work remotely or meet an old friend for a coffee date. Though less than a year old, Fariner has quickly established itself as a go-to destination for a quiet atmosphere, good vibes, and incredible pastries.
Is your favorite patio missing from this list? Let me hear about it! I want to experience all the epic patios Omaha has to offer, so tweet at @danhoppen, message Restaurant Hoppen on Facebook, or DM @dan_hoppen on Instagram to let me know what patios you think are among Omaha’s best!
