COLD WEATHER CAN BE DEADLY FOR SENIORS

Cold weather can be more than just an inconvenience for older adults, it can be a serious threat to their health. Older adults lose body heat faster, making hypothermia a real concern during the winter months. Knowing the signs, symptoms and preventative measures can save a life.

“Vermont winters can be very cold. Last December, I wanted to save some money so I turned my heat down to 62°F. I didn't know that would put my health in danger.“
