Severe Weather-Caring for Seniors Living At Home
While we can always find humor in any situation, winter weather for seniors in Western Michigan can present plenty of challenges. If an elderly parent lives at home alone make sure their pantry is well stocked with easy to open and ready to eat foods, snacks and bottled water. Pipes might freeze and break or it might be days before they can get out to the grocery store or the power might be interuppted. Be prepared for power outages and make sure the senior's home has plenty of warm blankets and flashlights with good batteries. Also, arrange for someone to check in on them if you can't do it yourself.
