Keeping warm, safe and well this winter: Winter care tips for older adults

As temperatures drop, older adults and those with health conditions are more vulnerable to cold-related illnesses, falls, and loneliness. That’s why Provide React Homecare’s winter care service helps families keep loved ones safe, warm, and supported throughout the season.

 

Top 5 winter safety tips at home for older adults:

  1. Keep the home warm – Use heating timers and check for draughts.
  2. Stay nourished – Serve warm meals and drinks throughout the day to maintain energy and immunity.
  3. Dress in layers – Multiple thin layers trap heat better.
  4. Check in often – Make sure someone is looking in daily.
  5. Have a support plan – Consider flexible home visits during winter for extra reassurance.
