Winter in Ohio can be beautiful—but for older adults, it can also bring serious concerns about *heating costs, staying warm, and keeping the home safe and comfortable.*
Before the temperatures drop, there are steps every Ohio senior—and every family member who cares about them—should know.
In this important video, we talk with Kathryn Metz with the Ohio Consumer Counsel about ways seniors can prepare for the coming winter, recognize potential problems before they become emergencies, and learn where to turn when heating costs become difficult to manage.
