Care recipient (cr) likes to go around the house and turn off all the lights even when others need them on

Try: Try putting tape over the light switch so cr can’t turn it on off if the light switch is turned on off with a pull string try putting the string higher so cr can’t reach it you can use a clothes hanger to turn it on when you need to but make sure cr doesn’t see you do that also keep the clothes hanger in the closet so cr doesn’t have easy access to it

Materials: Tape clothes hanger
