Assess Regularly for Safety

Safety Note: You'll need to regularly assess the situation to see if and for how long the person can use a timer. As the disease progresses, the person may:

Not remember why the alarm is sounding
Set it for the wrong time
Forget to set the timer, even with reminder signs
Not understand how to use the timer

Narration

One of the biggest problems is forgetting that food is cooking on the stove.
In the early stages, some individuals will be able to use a timer successfully. It may be helpful, however, to put up a "Set the Timer" sign or to gently remind the person to do so. A timer with large, easy-to-read numerals and a loud and long ring will be the most effective.
