Autumn Safety for Seniors Changes – Both Good and Bad There’s much to enjoy about the transition from summer to autumn. The intense heat begins to subside, the leaves change color, and we ready ourselves for the holiday season. But like all other seasonal transitions, there’s a tradeoff, and with the positive changes come certain challenges to our health and safety. Seniors, in particular, are at risk around this time of year. Colder temperatures, the presence of influenza, and even fallen leaves can severely threaten seniors’ wellbeing and independence. Fortunately, by following a

few tips and best practices, seniors can stay safe and enjoy everything that the autumn season has to offer.

Autumn Safety Tips * Get the influenza vaccine: While the flu may not be as detrimental to the health of younger people, seniors are at risk from flu complications, such as pneumonia and bronchitis. These complications can result in serious illness, hospitalization, and even death. Adding to this, the flu can also worsen pre-existing conditions. Vaccines to consider include Fluzone High-Dose, Fluad and Flublok Quadrivalent – but it’s important to talk to a physician or other healthcare professional about the most appropriate option. * Reduce the risk of influenza: In addition to

vaccination, it’s best to take additional steps toward reducing the risk of the flu: * Avoid contact with those who are sick * Wash hands with warm water and soap frequently throughout the day, or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer. * Regularly disinfect surfaces that are likely to be contaminated * Improve the immune system through regular exercise (with physician approval) * Reduce fire risk: As the temperature falls, it’s common to start using space heaters or fireplaces to warm up the home. Seniors should ensure that flammable objects are kept far

away from these types of appliances. It’s also important to inspect fire extinguishers to ensure they are in working condition, and that batteries are replaced in smoke detectors. * Keep warm: While on the subject of dropping temperatures, it’s imperative that seniors protect themselves from the cold. Although autumn doesn’t present the same bitter weather as winter, there’s still a palpable risk. In fact, the National Institutes of Health reports that hypothermia can develop rather quickly after being exposed to relatively mild cold temperatures. Seniors should venture outside only when absolutely necessary. When they do, it’s important to dress in layers of

loose-fitting clothing. * Clear away the leaves: Though certainly pleasing to the eye, fallen leaves can easily cause seniors to slip and fall. They should be raked away from the driveway and sidewalks. This is especially important once they become slippery and soggy from the rain.

Senior Neighbors Can Help There’s a lot to enjoy when it comes to autumn. The senior center coordinators and case managers of Senior Neighbors want to help, especially during this trying time in history, to ensure that our seniors No Longer feel Alone. We currently have three senior centers that are giving out meals (Grand Rapids—daily boxes lunches, Sparta on Thursdays and Grandville on Mondays—five freezer meals a week). We have been working hard to call our seniors to check in with them and we have phone bingo, book clubs, music, and games. We also can help with rides, have home maintenance assistance, and other case management services to connect seniors to resources in the community. Contact our intake case worker at 616.233.0281 to learn more about the many services we provide.
