❄️ Winter Safety Reminder for Caregivers ❄️
Montana winters are no joke — especially when you’re caring for a loved one. A few small tweaks can make a big difference in safety and comfort:
🛷 Check mobility equipment
Look over walkers, wheelchairs, and canes to make sure grips, tips, and brakes are in good shape. Worn parts can be extra slippery on snow and ice.
🧤 Bundle up for every outing
Hats, gloves, warm coats, and blankets help keep your loved one comfortable during transfers or time outside – especially if they’re in a wheelchair or moving slowly.
🚪 Keep paths clear
Do your best to keep ramps, steps, and walkways cleared and treated for ice. Even a thin layer of ice can turn a short trip into a major fall risk.
🚗 Plan ahead for appointments
Give yourself extra time, park as close as you can, and use transport chairs or other mobility aids to make getting in and out of the vehicle safer.
