"❄️ Winter Safety Tips for Seniors: Staying Warm & Safe at Home ❄️
Brrr—Chicago winters can be tough, especially for our loved ones! Cold weather brings risks like slips, chills, and dry skin, but a few simple steps can make all the difference.
Here are 5 quick tips to stay safe this season:
1. Keep your home cozy—aim for at least 65°F and layer up with blankets or warm clothes.
2. Prevent falls: Clear walkways of ice/snow, use shoes with good traction, and hold onto rails.
3. Stay hydrated & moisturized—drink plenty of water and use lotion to fight dry winter skin.
4. Watch for heating safety: Check space heaters and never leave them unattended.
5. Check in often—loneliness can hit harder in winter, so call or visit loved ones regularly.
