Winter Safety Tips Sooth Seniors In San Marino

The weather has begun to cool and many elders in LA and OC are beginning to reclude themselves indoors until the weather warms up again. But at the leading elder care agency in Southern California located right here in San Marino, elders of all ages can continue to enjoy the great outdoors without running an unnecessary risk on their health!
That’s because at A-1 Home Care, we provide caregiving professionals who are ready and waiting to serve elders from all walks of life, including Jewish, Middle Eastern, Asian, and European, with the most affordable prices and convenient services available anywhere.

Check out 3 of the simplest holiday season safety tips that elders can incorporate into their lifestyle for greater home health this time of year:
1.      Prepare Against Power Shortages
Make sure you have flashlights and warm clothes in the home in the case that a storm causes the power to go out. Also, remember to have a supply of non-perishable foods in your home in the case that a longer power shortage occurs-- which can cause your perishable foods to go bad in a hurry!
2.      Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Did you know that using even the most festive heating devices in your home—like using a fireplace or a lantern-- can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning? Knowing this, improve the safety in your home by checking the batteries on your carbon monoxide detector and purchasing a newer one if need be.
3.      Eat A Nutritional Diet
The colder weather causes many people to decrease the amount of time they spend outdoors. Because of this, remember to load up on foods with Vitamin D (the nutrient that your body typically receives from sunlight) that include milk, grains, and salmon.

Find out more helpful senior care home advice for the cold season by calling a compassionate caregiver at (626) 287-0250 or (562) 929-8400 today. A-1 Home Care provides live-in care and other non-medical home care options to communities in places like Pasadena, Altadena, San Gabriel, La Canada, and Sierra Madre.
