Fall Back! Daylight Saving Time Ends Today!

Did you remember to turn your clocks back? Daylight Saving Time ended at 2:00 am this morning, Sunday, November 1, giving us an extra hour!

As we settle into shorter days and longer evenings, it's a good time to take care of a few things around the house:
⏰ Check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
⏰ Update clocks on appliances and assistive technology devices that don't adjust automatically
⏰ Review your emergency supplies and replace expired items
⏰ Adjust medication reminders and daily routines if needed
⏰ Make sure outdoor walkways and entrances are well-lit as evenings get darker

Enjoy that extra hour!
