It’s quite possible; my Dad does it all the time—usually in the dining room. He likes to say he doesn’t need it, that it’s just in case. Get him distracted when it’s set aside, and he’s like to walk off without it unless a staff member catches him at it. (And he does need it, he’s a fall risk.) Now, I’d like to think one wouldn’t make it home without it, but with all I’ve seen? Zero confidence of that whatsoever.
Thank you! :)
