Description

Cooking Fires and Safety

Did you know that the leading cause of house fires is unattended cooking. The problem isn’t necessarily the burner itself, but rather what’s on top of the burner.  Many people have at one time or another left something simmering on the stove and left the house for a few hours, or have gotten sidetracked and forgot about the roast in the oven. It happens to the best of us. However, having it happen to an older adult who is living independently while happily aging in place especially someone with a mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early stages of dementia is a cause for concern and that’s why a stove safety device is a must-have for the older adult who is aging in place.
