As the weather continues to cool, our joints can start to feel stiffer. Gentle movement and cozy habits help us stay flexible and warm all season long. 🦴🍂❄️

Before moving, remember to stay hydrated! Your joints—and your organs—need fluid to stay comfortable. Not a fan of plain water? Me either 🤫 😉. Try herbal teas, flavored water with lemon or berries, dilute with 100% juice, or enjoy warm soups and broths instead. Keeping up with fluids is key though!

🏃‍♀️ Keep moving – even small steps make a difference!

Try:
• Walking daily to get the mail or around the house
• Light stretches before bed or during TV commercials
• Tidying up or folding laundry
• Gentle arm or leg lifts while sitting
• A stroll or bike ride to enjoy the fall colors
• Raking leaves or sweeping the porch
• Walking with a friend or pet
• Nature scavenger walk: look for pinecones, a special rock;), or colorful leaves — adds movement/ bending and makes it more fun
• Visit a local pumpkin patch, park, or farm stand
• Decorating for fall or winter — bending, reaching, and stretching safely

Small daily habits, mixed with intentional seasonal activities, and practical movements each day, help us keep joints happy and our body feeling at its best.

What are some things you like to do this time of year to keep your body moving and your joints healthy?

🍁 Fall Prevention Starts with Small Changes 🍁

Simple changes around our home can make it easier and safer to move about every day and prevent falls and injury.

Here’s what really helps: 💛

🏠 At Home:
✨ Keep floors and walkways clear
✨ Wear grippy socks or non-slip slippers on smooth floors
✨ Secure or remove small area rugs to prevent tripping —especially if struggling to pick your feet up (shuffling)
✨ Open drapes and curtains during the day — bright natural light makes it easier to see, identify it’s day-time, and move safely
✨ Add grab bars where needed and consider a raised toilet seat if you’re taller (less of a drop)
✨ A smart watch (discreet and dignified) or fall detection device can call for help if ever needed
✨ Hip protectors are another great option — many don’t know about these, but they really help reduce injury and fractures
✨ Take your time when standing up — no need to rush or get dizzy!

🌳 Outdoors:
🍂 Watch for wet leaves, frost, ice, or uneven or lose ground
👟 Wear good shoes or boots with grip
🦯 Use a cane or walker for extra support when feeling unsteady or unstable
💡 Keep steps and walkways well-lit, and keep porch and entryway lights on when leaving the house mid-day. It gets darker earlier in the evenings. We need to be able to see if you fall.
📱 Bring a phone or smart device when heading out, just in case

It’s often the little things that help us and our loved ones stay safe, steady, and confident, as we age in place.

What are some things you are going to do to make your home a little safer this season? 🍂

🩺 🩹 Recovering from surgery or a fall? 🤕

Whether it’s a hip fracture, knee replacement, day surgery, or medical treatment, moving about safely while you recover can be hard. Pain, anesthesia, or limited mobility can make daily tasks tricky, and having the proper support in place can make all the difference.

At our care company, we offer reliable rides, professional support, and at-home care to help you get home safely and stay comfortable while you heal.

Reach out to arrange support during your recovery journey.
