A Simple Winter Safety Checklist

Staying Safe During the Cold Season

Cold weather brings unique challenges for older adults. Lower temperatures, slippery sidewalks, and shorter days can increase the risk of falls, illness, and isolation. With thoughtful preparation and reliable in-home care, your loved one can stay safe, comfortable, and confident all winter long.

A Simple Winter Safety Checklist

A few small steps can make a big difference. Here’s a quick checklist every family should review:

• Non-slip shoes and mats: Prevent slips and falls around the home and outside.
• Walkways free of ice: Keep paths and driveways clear to avoid dangerous accidents.
• Working heater and blankets: Maintain a warm indoor temperature and have extra layers available.
• Warm meals and hydration reminders: Encourage balanced nutrition and regular water intake to support overall health.
