Old man winter is upon us and two important topics come to mind, ice safety and medical alerts. How are these two topics intertwined you ask?
No one ever expects something bad to occur, but unfortunately, emergencies and accidents are inevitable. During winter, it becomes more difficult to prevent falls, as ice becomes common outside.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to prevent falls. Some of the top things include:
- Carry some cat litter with you and sprinkle it on ice patches you have to walk across.
- Use slip-on snow cleats. They will grip the ice better than the typical boot or shoe.
- Walk like a penguin, taking short steps and holding your arms out in order to better spread your body weight.
- Use a walking stick.
But, what if you do slip?
The last thing you want is to be stuck outside after a bad fall without any way to get help, and that’s why it is so important to have access to a medical alert device.
Medical alerts offer a great fit for the active person living at home that needs the peace of mind of knowing help is only a push of a button away.
With medical alert devices from WH Security, you can continue doing the activities that you love without worrying “what if.” Whether it is going to get the mail or shoveling the sidewalk, it’s nice to know that you are protected should an emergency occur.
Seasons greeting from all of us at WH Security!
