    Memory and mobility issues can increase the risks of fire in the kitchen. Smoke and heat detectors, possibly linked to community alarm service may be worthwhile in some cases. Prompts and reminders can help people to remember to switch off the cooker when they

    leave the kitchen.

    Where carers prepare food and it would be too dangerous for someone to cook for themselves, extra controls can be added to temporarily disable a cooker. If someone is at risk of falling alarm buttons can be fitted around the room at low level so they can call for help.

    There are also ways to help people to prepare their own food, for example by having simple recipes readily available and leading them gently through the steps to complete the meal. A similar technique can help lead people through tasks of daily living like doing the washing.

    An initial telephone consultation will help with understanding what is possible and

    potential solutions.
