Safera stove guard is the easiest to use for the elderly and those with dementia
Reason #1:
The elderly do not need to learn anything new to use the stove.
The elderly can use their familiar stove just like before – but much more safely, with the Safera stove guard installed. The Safera stove guard works completely unobtrusively and automatically: it shuts off the stove if it is left on or overheats.
Reason #2:
The elderly do not need to know how to acknowledge alerts.
If necessary, the alert acknowledgment can be set to automatic. In this case, the stove will automatically and safely return to use after a certain time following the alert.
If the elderly person’s condition allows, they can also acknowledge the alert themselves. When an alert occurs, the large button on the front of the device flashes red while the device emits a sound, making it easy for the elderly person to find the button and acknowledge the alert.
Reason #3:
If the elderly might be startled by alert sounds, the alert can be made silent.
The stove guard can prevent dangerous situations and cut off power to the stove completely silently if the elderly might be startled by alert sounds. Combined with automatic alert acknowledgment, using the stove is safe and completely unobtrusive.
Reason #4:
The elderly can also acknowledge the alert with a remote control if they have mobility limitations.
With an optional remote control, acknowledgment is possible for wheelchair users who find it difficult to reach the button on the stove guard above the stove.

Reason #5:
Relatives and caregivers can receive a remote alert about a dangerous situation with the elderly, allowing them to respond quickly.
Thanks to remote alerts, relatives and caregivers can take care of the elderly remotely. Safera Sense Wi-Fi stove guard sends an alert via email or text message in the event of a dangerous situation, ensuring that the elderly person is well after the incident.
The cause of the alert should be investigated, especially if they occur frequently. If necessary, the caregiver can discuss with the elderly person how to avoid similar situations in the future.
Reason #6:
The elderly cannot accidentally weaken the safety level of the stove guard, and the settings of the Safera stove guard do not change automatically.
It is important that the safety level of security devices does not weaken accidentally. This is a risk with alarms that adapt to the behavior of the elderly, where the alert thresholds may become too high and not prevent a stove fire from igniting. Especially with the elderly and those with dementia, stove usage habits vary and change with age, so automatic changes in safety thresholds can be dangerous.
Safera stove guard always ensures the highest possible safety level, and the elderly cannot weaken the safety features of the stove guard with their behavior. The settings of the stove guard can also be locked with a password, preventing the elderly from changing them.
Reason #7:
Independent use of the stove by the elderly can be prevented by activating the child lock on the stove guard.
When the child lock on the stove guard is activated, turning on the stove first requires pressing the button on the stove guard in a specific sequence. The child lock allows the caregiver or relative visiting the elderly to use the stove easily, but the elderly cannot use the stove independently.
The child lock can also be set to automatic, so it activates after each cooking session and is not dependent on the memory of the relative or caregiver.
Reason #8:
The stove usage can be limited with timers suitable for the elderly’s condition for added safety.
Additional restrictions can be set for stove usage based on timers. For example, stove use can be completely prevented at night, or usage can be limited to a preset time. Timers work fully automatically and do not require the elderly to learn anything new.
Reason #9:
Anomalies in the elderly’s stove usage habits can be detected quickly.
It is important to know if the elderly start using the stove differently from their habits, such as at night. Unexpected changes in routines may indicate changes in the cognitive abilities of the elderly. The sooner we react to early changes, the better we can care for the elderly.
Safera stove guard records data on stove usage, such as how often the stove is used, how often dangerous situations occur, and when the stove is used. Relatives and caregivers can enable alerts that notify changes in the elderly’s stove usage habits, allowing timely intervention if necessary.
