As the days grow shorter and the air gets colder, the change of season can bring both comfort and challenges.
For older adults, autumn and winter often mean cosier evenings, warm drinks, and time with family – but they can also bring increased risks such as slips, colds, and feelings of isolation.
At Home Instead South Manchester, we believe a little preparation goes a long way in keeping our clients safe, comfortable, and happy during the colder months. Here are some simple yet effective ways to get ready for autumn and winter.
Shorter days and rainy weather can make outdoor exercise difficult, but gentle movement indoors is just as important.
Routines provide structure, comfort, and independence.
Cold and dark weather can increase feelings of isolation, but staying socially connected makes a huge difference.
