- 1. Case study: Older person Mr B, 86, is a widower of four years and suffers from the early stages of dementia. He has no real difficulties performing physical tasks, however his children (one of whom lives a mile away) are becoming increasingly worried about his condition. Mr Bs daughter says that she bought him a bath alarm after he left the bath running on one occasion, but is now very anxious since he recently left the house with the oven on, prompting the fire brigade to turn up after neighbours were alerted to his smoke alarm. Mr B enjoys an active social life and likes to catch up with friends in his local pub; his children describe him as fiercely independent and say that he would hate any disruption to his routine.
