Winter Health Tips for the Elderly

Winter is something that we take very seriously at Lovett Care. The health and well being of our residents is important all year round. But once the clocks have turned back, the nights are longer and the temperature drops, keeping warm and healthy across our care homes takes on extra significance.

The elderly often have many complex needs. During Winter the cold weather can exacerbate symptoms leading to a serious state of health. Heart, lung, kidney, joint problems and mental health can all be adversely affected by Winter.
