People waste time opening the wrong cabinets and drawers, especially in shared homes or with changing caregivers. This is stressful in the moment and exhausting over time.
“Someone moved it.”
There is no shared “map” of the home. One person’s system is invisible to everyone else. This causes friction, extra work for caregivers, and anxiety for older adults who feel like they’re “losing it.”
“We bought another one… again.”
Because it is easier to buy a new item than to find the old one, families overspend and throw away forgotten food and supplies. Over time, that’s real money and real waste.
