[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 339155, member: 1722"] I'm sorry this is happening to your family. Maybe something on this link would help: [url]http://memory.ucsf.edu/education[/url] My aunt and uncle cared for my grandmother who developed both Parkinson's & Dementia. They got in the habit of throwing the breaker to the stove after she boiled down a pot of water. Could you somehow shut off the gas valve to the fireplace when you go out? It's not a great solution but it could work until you can line up some help for respite. I watched my grandmother one day a week every week except when she was sent to visit my mother for a few weeks once or twice a year. That kept my aunt and uncle's caregiver fatigue to a manageable level so that grandma wasn't placed in a nursing home until there was no other option. [/QUOTE]
