Light the Way to Safety 💡🏡

Shorter days mean more time moving around in low light, and more risk of trips and falls.

Fall Back Gently 🕰️🌙

Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 1. A one-hour shift can throw off sleep, meals, and medication routines for older adults.

🌙 Ease the transition: ⏰ Shift bedtime 15 minutes a day this week 💊 Double-check medication schedules after the change ☀️ Get morning sunlight to reset the body clock 🕯️ Watch for extra confusion in the late afternoon (sundowning) as it gets dark earlier

Steady routines bring comfort, and our caregivers help keep every day on track.
