The leaves are falling, the wind is howling, the air has a bone chilling dampness – are your aging loved ones safe in their environment? Stop by and bring them some cider or  fresh baked pumpkin bread and take a peek at their surroundings.

• Is their driveway and walkways clear from wet slippery leaves?
• Is water collecting on slippery surfaces?
• Are their hand railings and are they securely installed?
• When was their furnace last serviced?
• Are their windows easy to open and close?
• Do they use or need a cane or walker – something to think about?
• Are their sweaters, jackets and throws in a convenient place?
• Open up their frig – is there any foul odors, check expiration dates.

Keeping your loved ones safe brings comfort and warms hearts! Happy Autumn!!!
