November 17, 2016
The Council on Aging of West Florida needs to your help to help local senior stay warm this winter.
The COA is accepting monetary contributions and donations of new heaters and blankets for the elderly. Drop off donations at the Council on Aging office located at 875 Royce Street in Pensacola between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or call (850) 432-1475 for more information.
This winter season the elderly in particular may be vulnerable and at risk for developing hypothermia, a deadly condition caused by a drop in body temperature. The best way to prevent hypothermia is to stay warm.
Here are some winter safety tips:
- Keep your home comfortably heated.
- Wear several layers of loose clothing. Tight layers of clothing can keep your blood from flowing freely, which can lead to loss of body heat.
- Wear a windproof and waterproof coat or jacket if you plan to be outdoors.
- If your hands and feet are cold, put on a hat. This causes your body to send more warm blood to our hands and feet.
- Use a scarf to cover your neck.
- At night, use hot water bottles, heating pads and electric blankets to help keep you warm.
