Preparing for Cooler Weather in Independent Living Communities ❄️

As cooler weather arrives, a few simple steps can help residents stay warm, comfortable, and ready for the season.

❄️ Sort Through Seasonal Clothing
Check that sweaters, jackets, and layers are in good condition and fit well. Replace worn items and make a list of anything needed for colder days.

❄️ Add Extra Blankets and Adjust Bedding
Bring out cozy blankets or warmer linens to ensure comfortable sleep, since everyone handles cold differently.

❄️ Gather Indoor Activities
Pull out puzzles, books, board games, and craft supplies for relaxing afternoons inside. Community activity calendars also offer plenty of seasonal options.

❄️ Decorate for Fall
Add warm, seasonal touches like autumn themed pillows, blankets, or simple DIY decorations to make the space feel inviting.

These small adjustments make cooler weather enjoyable and help create a cozy, welcoming environment all season long.

🍁 Hiking
Explore local trails and take in the beautiful fall colors while enjoying fresh air and gentle movement.

🍁 Walking
A brisk walk around the community grounds or nearby parks is a great way to stay active. Harvard Health Publishing recommends 150 minutes per week.

🍁 Cycling
Ride along scenic bike paths and enjoy the cool fall breeze as you stay fit and energized.

🍁 Gardening
Plant fall flowers or tend to raised beds for light exercise and peaceful outdoor time.
