Winter home care: safety, dry skin, and routines
familiesSafetySeasonal
Quick fixes for icy entrances, dry skin, and staying active indoors.
Winter adds risk: slippery steps, reduced activity, and dry skin that can crack.
Try:
- Add traction at entrances and a bright porch light.
- Keep a ‘winter kit’ by the door (salt, shovel, flashlight).
- Moisturize after bathing and use a gentle soap.
- Schedule short indoor walks (5–10 minutes, 2–3x/day).
Small routines add up to fewer setbacks.
