The fun starts when dementia rears its ugly head. Choking, kitchen fires, gas leaks (no getting out of bed, so no falling), dementia compelling them to disassemble the house, dementia-induced hallucinations of intruders, dementia-induced claims of theft by neighbors and other helpers, and quick ability to verify/dismiss false positive alerts are huge selling points for cameras you'll wish you had if/when these shenanigans start.
