Cold Weather, Warm Hearts ❄️

Freezing temperatures don’t just affect our bodies — they can impact our mental health, too. Shorter days, isolation, and icy conditions can leave seniors feeling lonely, anxious, or down.

At Comfort Keepers, we believe caring for mental health is just as important as staying physically safe during winter. A friendly conversation, a warm meal, a familiar routine, and a caring presence can make all the difference on even the coldest days.

If you or a loved one could use extra support this winter, we’re here to help — bringing comfort, connection, and peace of mind right into the home. 💙

📞 Call us at 812-481-8081
Because no one should feel alone, especially when the weather outside is frightful.

Stay Warm, Evansville! ❄️

The Tri-State is getting hit with some serious winter weather, and it is bitterly cold out there. Whether you’re heading out or hunkering down, please stay safe and keep these local resources in mind:

🏠 Local Warming Centers & Shelters
If you or someone you know needs a warm place to go, several local organizations are activating their White Flag programs (available when the "feels like" temp hits 35°F or below):

United Caring Services (UCS): Located at 324 NW 6th St. Their Day Shelter is a safe haven for meals and warmth, and they offer White Flag emergency shelter at night.

Evansville Rescue Mission (ERM): The atrium at 500 E. Walnut St. is open daily (8 AM – 6 PM) for anyone to stay warm. Overnight shelter is available for men.

EVPL Central Library: The downtown branch (200 SE MLK Jr Blvd) serves as an official warming center during their normal operating hours.

CK Newsome Center: Located at 100 E Walnut St, open Mon–Fri, 8 AM – 5 PM.

💡You can dial 2-1-1 anytime to get a live list of the nearest available resources and shelters.

🚿 Quick Tips for the House

Drip the Faucets: Keep a slow drip on faucets along exterior walls to prevent frozen pipes.

Pet Safety: If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for them! Bring pets inside

Check on Neighbors: A quick text to your elderly neighbors can be a lifesaver.
Stay hydrated, grab a warm drink, and look out for one another! ☕️🧤

🍎 Nutrition Tips for Healthy Aging 🍗🥕
At Comfort Keepers, we know that good nutrition is a key part of staying strong, energized, and independent—especially as we age. Small changes can make a big difference in overall health!

Here are a few simple, senior-friendly nutrition reminders:

✅ Build a balanced plate
Aim for a mix of protein + fruits/veggies + whole grains + healthy fats at each meal.

✅ Prioritize protein
Protein supports muscle strength and helps reduce fall risk. Great options include eggs, Greek yogurt, beans, chicken, fish, peanut butter, and cottage cheese.

✅ Hydration matters
Many older adults don’t feel thirsty as often—so drink regularly throughout the day. Try water, milk, herbal tea, or flavored water (add lemon, berries, or cucumber).

✅ Choose fiber for heart and digestion
Add oatmeal, whole wheat bread, berries, beans, apples, and vegetables to support digestion and heart health.

✅ Make meals easier
If cooking feels overwhelming, keep it simple:
🍲 soups, crockpot meals, pre-cut veggies, rotisserie chicken, or healthy frozen options can help.

💛 Need support with meal planning, grocery trips, or preparing healthy meals at home? Comfort Keepers caregivers can help make nutrition easier and safer—while keeping seniors comfortable and independent.

📞 Call us at 812-481-8081 to learn more.

❄️ Staying Warm & Active This Winter ❄️

As the temperatures drop, it’s more important than ever for seniors to stay warm and keep moving. Winter doesn’t have to slow you down—it just means adjusting how we care for our bodies.

🧣 Tips to Stay Warm

* Dress in layers to help regulate body temperature
* Keep your home comfortably heated and block drafts
* Enjoy warm meals and hot beverages
* Wear non-slip shoes to prevent falls on cold floors or icy surfaces

🚶‍♀️ Ways to Stay Active Indoors

* Light stretching or chair exercises
* Short walks inside the home
* Simple household activities like folding laundry or tidying up
* Gentle movement helps improve circulation, balance, and overall well-being

At Comfort Keepers, we’re here to support seniors through every season—helping them stay safe, comfortable, and engaged at home all winter long. 💙

If you or a loved one could use a little extra support this winter, we’re just a call away.

🎄🖨️ Dr. Jolly has officially printed her last prank of the season… 🧑‍⚕️✨

Looks like Dr. Jolly tried to copy herself on the way out and got a little stuck 😂
After a season full of laughs, mischief, and holiday fun, Dr. Jolly is heading back to the North Pole to report to Santa.

Thank you for all the smiles this Christmas season, Dr. Jolly. Until next year… goodbye, and don’t forget us! 🎅❤️🎄

🚨 BREAKING: Dr. Jolly has officially lost his medical license! 🩺🚫

We caught him performing "emergency surgery" on the office printer this morning. Apparently, the diagnosis was "acute lack of holiday spirit."

His prescription for the whole team?
☕️ 200mg of Caffeine
🎉 100% chance of an early weekend

Be careful out there, the Doctor is IN... and he’s feeling mischievous! 🎄✨
