With safety in mind

One of my elderly ladies has a habit of falling over.  Because of this I am particularly diligent with regard to her pendant alarm, which is a necklace with a button for them to press in the event of a fall.
I regularly turn up and find her wandering around without it on and have to nag her (nicely of course) to put it on.
'Yes dear you are quite right, I should be more careful nowadays'

She also gets about with the aid of a walking frame; Today, I knock at the door and was just beginning to get concerned about how long she was taking to answer, when she eventually poked her round the door. I immediately realised the reason it took her so long; She was not using her frame.

'Why are you not using your frame?' I ask

'I am using it to dry out my towels at the moment'
