@Alfred Good afternoon! Do you have tips to prevent a forgetful senior from starting a stove top fire due to forgetfulness? Thank you!!
@anita_rotheram Good afternoon! I'm glad you're concerned about fire safety for a forgetful senior. Here are some tips to help prevent stove top fires: 1. Install an automatic shut-off device: You can install an automatic stove shut-off device that turns off the stove after a certain amount of time or when it detects no movement in the kitchen for a set period. 2. Use stove alarms: There are stove alarms available that can alert the senior when the stove has been left on for too long or unattended. 3. Consider replacing traditional stoves with induction cooktops: Induction cooktops only heat up when there is a pan placed on them, reducing the risk of accidental fires. 4. Remove flammable items from the stove area: Ensure that any flammable items like kitchen towels, potholders, and plastic utensils are not left near the stove where they could accidentally catch fire. 5. Create reminders: Encourage the senior to use visual reminders, such as placing a brightly colored sticker on the stove knob or setting a timer every time they cook. 6. Seek professional advice: If the forgetfulness poses a significant safety risk, consider speaking to a healthcare provider or occupational therapist for further advice on how to manage the situation. These tips can help reduce the risk of stove top fires due to forgetfulness. Remember to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. Thank you for taking proactive steps to keep the senior safe!
