 1. Keep Them Warm & Comfortable

Elderly people are more sensitive to cold.

Always ensure layers of warm, soft clothing.

Keep blankets and room heaters handy but safe.

Avoid sudden temperature changes between indoor and outdoor areas.

Check room temperature regularly — it should remain around 24°C.

 2. Focus on Nutritious, Warm Meals

Winter appetite may drop, but nutrition is crucial.

Include warm soups, green vegetables, and seasonal fruits.

Ensure hydration with warm water or herbal tea.

Avoid fried and sugary food, especially for diabetic elders.

Calcium and vitamin D rich foods help with joint stiffness.

 3. Monitor Health Regularly

Winter often aggravates chronic illnesses like asthma, arthritis, and high BP.

Schedule a routine check-up before peak winter.

Keep emergency medicines handy.

Monitor blood pressure, sugar, and oxygen levels at home.

Call Homely Hands Healthcare for free doctor consultation or to book a trained nurse at home in Gurgaon or Delhi NCR.

 4. Encourage Light Exercise Indoors

Limited sunlight and cold air can make elders inactive.

Suggest gentle morning stretches or yoga indoors.

Light movement helps improve blood circulation and mood.

Avoid going outside in heavy fog or early morning chill.

 5. Sunlight & Vitamin D Exposure

Allow 15–20 minutes of morning sunlight daily to boost immunity.

Ensure windows get proper sunlight into the room.

 6. Prevent Seasonal Infections
