If you have residents who are part of the “higher-risk-for-cooking-fire” group of senior citizens, you will be interested to learn more about the CookStop device that monitors movement in the kitchen and shuts off the stove when the cook leaves the room or falls asleep. You can learn more at www.cookstop.com.
