Holiday Safety Reminders for Residents While enjoying holiday activities, remember that safety comes first! Prevent falls: Wear well-fitting, non-slip shoes and use your cane or walker as recommended. Watch for obstacles: Be mindful of holiday decorations, electrical cords, rugs, and clutter in walkways. Stay hydrated: Drink water regularly throughout the day, even when you don’t feel thirsty. Listen to your body: Take breaks when needed, and stop if you experience dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, chest pain, or sudden weakness. Seek immediate medical assistance for chest pain or severe symptoms. Dress for the weather: Wear appropriate clothing and shoes when going outdoors, especially in cold or wet conditions. Ask for assistance: If you feel unsteady or need help getting to an activity, don’t hesitate to ask a staff member for support. Move at your own pace: Choose exercises that match your abilities and follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Remember, staying active doesn’t mean doing strenuous workouts.
