The holidays are a time for togetherness, but for many older adults, they can also bring loneliness. Research shows that around 1 in 3 adults report feeling lonely, and that social isolation or chronic loneliness can significantly harm health, raising the risk of heart disease, stroke, and even early death.

This season, let’s close the gap. Call a family member, invite an older neighbor for a holiday drink, or drop off a card. Small moments of connection can make a big difference. 💛

Fact: Hospice isn’t about giving up; it’s about focusing on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Many families find that hospice brings more good days, not fewer, by relieving pain, easing symptoms, and offering emotional and spiritual support. It helps patients live as fully as possible, surrounded by the people and routines they love.

As the weather gets colder and drier, your skin can become more sensitive and prone to irritation. Keeping your skin moisturized and protected helps prevent dryness, cracking, and irritation, which are all important for staying comfortable and healthy as you age.

Moisturize Daily 💧

Choose a rich, fragrance-free lotion or cream and apply it right after bathing to lock in moisture.
Dress for the Weather 🧣🧤

Cover up exposed skin with scarves, gloves, and hats to protect against cold, wind, and dry air.
Limit Hot Showers 🚿

Hot water can strip natural oils from your skin. Use warm water instead and keep showers short.
Stay Hydrated 🥤

Even in colder months, drinking water supports healthy skin from the inside out.
