The action of dressing and undressing is improved but supervision may be required as instructions are not retained. Doing the action of dressing is what makes sense to the person rather than the goal-directed actions of getting dressed. Mistakes often occur when unsupervised. Improve the person's ability to dress correctly by laying out their clothing in the correct order. Use larger buttons, Velcro or magnetic fastenings or trousers with elastic waists.
Prevent falls by dressing while seated and removing loose fitting shoes or slippers.
