When the temperature swings sharply between day and night, seniors' health is especially easy to unsettle. Here are the 5 seasonal care tips that Gyeryong Hyo Center practices every day.

1. Prevent infection first

Wash hands and ventilate rooms often, and keep up with flu and pneumococcal vaccinations. For seniors with weaker immunity, respiratory infections are a serious risk.

2. Protect body temperature and hydration

Dress in several thin layers to regulate warmth, and offer water often — even when thirst is not felt — to prevent dehydration.

3. Prevent falls

Clear wet floors and thresholds, and use non-slip socks and night lighting. Falls are a major threat to seniors' health.

4. Regular movement and rehabilitation

Light stretching and walking, together with professional rehab programs, maintain muscle and joints and improve resilience.

5. Care for emotional health, too

Less daylight can deepen low moods. Talk often, enjoy the sun, and keep the spirit lively with cognitive-stimulation activities.
