Electronics with Automatic Shut-off. These are great for home
safety in general, but of extra importance when someone in the home has
memory loss. Electronics and appliance manufacturers are incorporating
an automatic shut-off feature in to an increasing number of products
ranging from humidifiers to Christmas tree lights. The ones you might
find most useful for a loved one with dementia include a curling iron,
iron, and coffee pot. It they still cook, a product called CookStop can
actually turn off a pot or pan that they have left on the stove too
long.
