❄️ As we prepare for the colder weather, let’s remember to check on our older neighbors. Cold temperatures, power outages, and icy conditions can be especially challenging for older adults living alone.

A quick phone call, text, or knock on the door can provide reassurance, and in some cases, make a life-saving difference.
