Winter is upon us and, with it, the challenges of getting out of the house for supplies. But according to Jennifer Szakaly, a certified life care manager in North Carolina, older adults can ease the season’s impact by using services that bring the outside world and your needs directly to your home.

Szakaly says that in winter weather, slippery surfaces can increase the risk of falls and limit the function of canes and walkers. With weaker circulation, older people can feel cold more readily. And they’re more vulnerable if winter weather affects their ability to leave home to get food, medication or medical care, or if power interruptions affect their heat, appliances or in-home medical equipment.
