Caregiver Page: Winter Safety Tips
Watch the ice!!!
Make sure to wear shoes with good traction and non-skid soles. Replace a
worn cane tip to make walking easier and safer. Take off shoes as soon as
you return home because often snow and ice attach to the soles and,
once melted, can lead to slippery conditions inside.
Help seniors keep sidewalks shoveled (tip: Push the snow in front of you,
rather than try to lift it. If you must lift, pick up small amounts and lift
with your legs, not your back). The easiest option is to hire someone to
do the snow shoveling for you or your loved one. Seniors in poor health
or with a heart condition should not shovel snow.
Be sure the steps leading up to the house are in good repair and are not
weak or wobbly as they will be even more difficult to navigate safely
when there may be snow, water and ice buildup.

Dress Warm
Cold temperatures can lead to frostbite and hypothermia -- a condition where the body temperature
dips too low. According to the CDC, more than half of hypothermia-related deaths were of people over
the age of 65. Conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, severe arthritis, and some medications
can limit the body’s response to cold, leaving seniors even more vulnerable.
Ensure that inside temperatures do not go too low. Going outside? Wear warm socks, a heavy coat, a
warm hat, gloves and a scarf. In very cold temperatures, cover all exposed skin. Use a scarf to cover
your mouth and protect your lungs. To keep your body temperature up, eat hot, nourishing meals and
drink warm beverages.
Be prepared for severe weather or power outages
Winter storms can lead to power outages. Make sure you have easy access to flashlights and a batterypowered radio in case the power goes out. Keep warm blankets handy. Longer power outages can spoil
the food in your refrigerator and freezer so keep a supply of non-perishable foods that can be eaten
cold. If the power goes out, wear several layers of clothing, including a hat.
Make sure seniors have emergency supplies. If your loved one is physically or cognitively impaired,
arrange for someone to stay with him during weather emergencies.
Ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly and batteries are
replaced each year.
Fight the winter blues
To help avoid these issues, family members can check in on seniors as often as possible. A short daily
phone call can make a big difference.
Encourage your loved one to attend their scheduled days at the Complete Senior Care day center! They
are guaranteed a fun day filled with socialization, physical actively and a delicious and nutritional
meal!
