The winter can bring amazing scenery, but rain, ice, sleet, and snow may make it difficult to get around, especially on foot. According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 1 million people are hospitalized in the U.S. every year from weather-related falls and slips, with seniors being the most affected.

When the ground gets icy and slippery, it only takes someone just a second of inattentiveness to fall and sustain injuries. The problem is that once seniors get these types of injuries for the first time, they become more prone to subsequent falls and injuries. The good news is that these winter-related slips and falls can be reduced or avoided. Don't let the weather get the best of your loved ones! The following tips can help keep them safe season long and beyond.

Yes, caregivers are working to help maintain the health and wellness of the person they are caring for, but they are also human beings themselves with their own needs to consider. Self-care is incredibly important for anyone responsible for the safety of others, as they can only continue to do so if they, themselves, are mentally and physically well. These tips can help. 

Many older adults have minimized travel and avoided getting out on gorgeous summer days for fear of contracting COVID-19—or getting sick in general.
