How to Prevent Winter Falls
Slipping on ice is no fun for anyone and often leads to some pretty ugly bruises or abrasions. While children and younger adults can bounce back from a simple slip on winter ice or snow, older adults are more likely to incur serious injuries with a slip on the ice this winter, and these simple falls could lead to permanent injuries. MorningStar’s assisted living for seniors in Parker, co offers some advice on how to be more mindful of weather conditions this year to prevent any bodily harm due to falls this winter.
Living in states that experience winter conditions, it’s no surprise that our clothing choices must change season to season. To help eliminate falls from ice this winter, it may be helpful to be even more mindful of the clothing decisions you make. Non slip rubber soles maintain traction on slippery surfaces and can help to keep your footing when walking outside during icy conditions.
Being extremely mindful of your surroundings is another way to help eliminate slips on ice. Survey your environment when leaving the home; make sure you notice areas that may be icier than others and try to avoid them. Try to refrain from overly snowy patches or any areas heavily shaded as ice may be less likely to melt where the sun isn’t reaching.
