Winter Care Check-In: Ensuring Comfort, Safety, and Support for Your Loved One

As the new year unfolds and the chilly winter months settle in, it’s the perfect time to reflect on
your loved one’s care and well-being. An annual care review is a wonderful opportunity to
ensure that their needs are met while planning ahead for any seasonal challenges.

Why an Annual Care Review Matters

Life is ever-changing, and that’s especially true as we age. An annual care review can uncover
areas where extra support may be needed and ensure that your loved one’s care plan remains
a perfect fit for their lifestyle. Here’s why scheduling a yearly review is so important:

Monitor Health Changes

Health, mobility, or cognitive needs may shift over time, and care plans should adapt accordingly.

Support Evolving Lifestyle Goals

Your loved one’s daily routines and preferences can change, and their care plan should reflect what brings them comfort and joy.

Enhance Safety Measures

Proactively addressing potential hazards can help prevent accidents and provide peace of mind.

Our comprehensive care evaluations take a holistic look at your loved one’s well-being including their health, daily routines, and home environment to ensure they continue to feel confident, cared for, and comfortable.

Winter Safety Tips: Prevent Slips, Falls, and Seasonal Health Risks

Winter weather brings unique challenges, but a few simple steps can help your loved one stay
safe and cozy:

Clear Walkways and Driveways

Make sure snow and ice are removed regularly, and consider adding sand or salt to prevent slips.

Wear Non-Slip Footwear

Supportive, insulated shoes with non-slip soles are a must for navigating slippery surfaces.

Improve Indoor Lighting

Nightlights in hallways, stairwells, and bathrooms can help prevent nighttime falls.

Stay Warm and Hydrated

Cold weather can increase dehydration, so encourage your loved one to drink plenty of fluids and dress in warm, breathable layers.

Emergency Preparedness

Ensure emergency contact information is up to date, and make sure your loved one has easy access to a phone in case of a fall.

Our fall prevention and home safety assessments can help identify any areas for improvement,
giving your family the reassurance that your loved one’s environment is set up for a safe winter
season.
