As the leaves are falling, and the scent of pumpkin spice, warm soups and fresh rain is in the air, it’s a clear sign that we are heading into FALL…. Prevention, that is — on Answers for Elders Radio!
The month of October, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, we often experience a higher degree of rain- making surfaces slippery. here are overgrown vines and branches from Spring and Summer’s growth in the gardens and yard — that are hindering mobility outside. It gets darker earlier, which hinders sightlines and potential trip hazards. Perhaps you aren’t getting outside as much as you used to, and thus, are you getting enough Vitamin D to keep you active and vibrant.
If you are a senior and still live in your home, or if you have a loved one who does, what can be the things that may pose a higher risk to their safety? What are the quick fixes that can be done to help, and overall, how can health factors, such as nutrition, or hydration effect mobility and balance?
This month, as we focus on this special topic — we’ll cover factors that can help you keep you and your loved ones safe at home while they age.
