The intense heat begins to subside, the leaves change color, and we ready ourselves for the holiday season.

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\u2019 well-being and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>#DYK | Older adults account for more than 50% of flu-related hospitalizations and more than 80% of flu-related deaths.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, by following a few tips and best practices, seniors can stay safe and enjoy everything that the autumn season has to offer. Here are a few to share with senior clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><u>Autumn Safety Tips<\/u> for Seniors<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Get the influenza vaccine<\/strong>: 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 \u2013 but it\u2019s important to talk to a physician or other healthcare professional about the most appropriate option.<\/li><li><strong>Reduce the risk of influenza<\/strong>: In addition to vaccination, it\u2019s best to take additional steps toward reducing the risk of the flu:<ul><li>Avoid contact with those who are sick<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Wash hands with warm water and soap frequently throughout the day, or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Regularly disinfect surfaces that are likely to be contaminated<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Improve the immune system through regular exercise (with physician approval)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Reduce fire risk<\/strong>: As the temperature falls, it\u2019s 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\u2019s also important to inspect fire extinguishers to ensure they are in working condition, and that batteries are replaced in smoke detectors.<\/li><li><strong>Keep warm:&nbsp;<\/strong>While on the subject of dropping temperatures, it\u2019s imperative that seniors protect themselves from the cold. Although autumn doesn\u2019t present the same bitter weather as winter, there\u2019s 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\u2019s important to dress in layers of loose-fitting clothing.<\/li><li><strong>Clear away the leaves:<\/strong>&nbsp;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.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><u>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;Calgary Can Help<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a lot to enjoy when it comes to autumn.
