Best Answer

Dementia can become dangerous when the sufferer forgets what they are doing while cooking, or lets something get so hot a fire could start. If the dementia is severe they could leave their home, and forget where they live and how to get home. If they have a medical condition that requires medication to survive, they may forget to take it.
