When I was cleaning out her house after she went into an assisted living situation, I found 5 pans that she had burned food to a black crisp in and tossed under the kitchen sink. So try to assess how he is doing with those kinds of task as he continues to age. Good luck in your search.
Thanks for the tip, my dad mostly heats things in the microwave as he too has a tendency to "forget" that he has something on the stove. The only thing he heats on the stove is oatmeal on occasion and then he has to stand there and stir it constantly. Lately he has gone to just eating cold cereal. :P
