Common questions

How can older adults avoid slipping on ice?
Slip-on ice grippers (traction cleats) add grip to any shoes on snow and ice, which prevents one of the most common winter falls. Take them off indoors, since they can be slippery on smooth floors.
How do you help someone stay safe in the heat?
Older bodies handle heat poorly, so cooling towels, easy-to-use fans, and staying hydrated all help. Choose gear that is simple to put on and operate.
