WINTER SAFETY IMPORTANT FOR ALL AGES, BUT PRIORITY FOR SENIORS

As winter weather picks up, staying safe is important for all ages, but for seniors, it can be the difference between life and death.

“Avoid slipping on ice. Make sure to wear shoes with good traction and non-skid soles, and stay inside until the roads are clear. Replace a worn cane tip to make walking easier. Take off shoes as soon as you return indoors because often snow and ice attach to the soles and, once melted, can lead to slippery conditions inside.”
