Hi everyone!
One of Alzheimer's Society's partners, Cadent, have a free Locking Cooker Valve (LCV) service that could be of benefit to some of you living in England and Wales.
What is it?
The locking cooker valve is a safety device that allows a carer or family member to easily control when gas can and cannot be used safely once fitted. The aim is to help vulnerable people retain their independence while keeping them safe at home.
Benefits
When the valve is locked, the gas cooker can’t be unintentionally turned on or left on. The persons’ carer can easily turn the valve off and on, enabling the gas cooker to be used with supervision.
Who is it for?
When you care for someone living with dementia, it can often help to have extra measures in place to provide that extra peace of mind.
How do I get one?
Cadent can fit a lockable safety device to the existing gas cooker pipework, free of charge. This service is provided regardless of your gas supplier. You don’t need to change energy supplier or inform your supplier of the device.
