Carol Bradley Bursack, Dec 13, 2010
Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
I know there are "smart stoves" but haven't see this item. Does anyone on the forum know about this? Could be very useful!Carol

Another similar product is called CookStop

Thanks for the comment, the Cook Stop looks like an interesting and useful product. However unlike the Stove Alarm/Stove Guard it does not detect the possibility of a potential fire or react to other alarms (smoke, CO2 etc). The Stove Guard also has intelligent cooking and allows useage of the stove unattended for a time period when if no cooking activity is detected, it will shut the cooker supply off.Any product that helps prevent fires in the kitchen must be a good thing and these are two different ways of approaching it.

Would one of the experts on AC talk about spousal refusual-all the years when my husband was ill and spending much time in rehabs with him and knowing some day he might have to go to a nursing home and meeting with elder lawyers and more social workers than I can remember I only found out about this at a meeting of our local AARP group-this seems to be kept very quiet and could make a big difference for a spouse and give them more money to live on-I live in N.Y. State.
