Hey, since boxers tend to be handy people, at least that's the myth, I figured to look here if anyone can help me out.
So my mom has Alzheimer (dementhia) and she has been living with me for the past years. Recently a new problem arose, one that has a significant impact on my stress level. When it's dark she has issues finding the toilet, and she has issues to find her room again. Imagine like being totally wasted and mega stoned, but than worse. I've bought a couple of cheap light detectors that pop on when she walks by, but hard to explain, she has beaten that system now. My next idea was to leave the light in the toilet on as the door has a little stain glass window on top, so in a dark hallway she could spot the light and just walk to it. She managed to beat that system once more. She just turns off the light now and then like any sane human would do, and next time she has to go to the toilet, the original problem pops up.
Now onto my last idea. I can only briefly describe what is, don't know the name nor could I find it in the store/google it. Back when I was a kid we had some light in the hallway, that was basically an emergency light whenever the electricity net was shut down. The light was sorta dimmed. Now I want the same thing, but I need to be able to manually turn it on/off, and it should not work on the electricity net but with batteries (since there is no way for me to connect it to the net in the bathroom). The reason why I want it to be a dimmed light is that it should not disturb, it should be sort in the background. So in short some light device that works on batteries (or that I can charge up during the day), can be turned on/off and that has a dim function. If it's energy friendly, it's even better.
Weird request, but if you could provide me with the name of such a device, maybe an alternative or a link, that would mean a lot to me.
Cheers
