As we head into another flu season, it’s important to learn more about the annual influenza vaccine. Many seniors faithfully receive the shot every fall, while others believe some of the common misconceptions about the vaccine and fail to get one. During seasons when the virus is especially bad, that can be deadly.

With age comes increased vulnerability to some diseases and many viruses. That’s often because as we grow older, our immune system becomes less robust. One illness that older adults are at greater risk for is the flu. Adults aged 65 and older account for the majority of flu-related hospitalizations and deaths.

Experts forecast another challenging season this year. Possibly even as severe as 2024-25—according to Pharmacy Times, last year’s flu season was one of the worst in recent years, especially for seniors. It led to higher-than-usual numbers of physician office visits and hospitalizations.

If you or a senior loved one has fears related to the flu shot, talk with your primary care physician. They can help separate fact from fiction. For many people, the following myths are what keep them from receiving the level of protection the annual influenza vaccine can offer.

Busting the Most Common Flu Shot Misconceptions

Myth: “The flu shot will give me the flu.”

Fact: Contrary to popular belief, the flu shot doesn’t contain a live virus. Inactivated vaccines cannot cause influenza. Common side effects like fatigue or mild fever are not actual illness. Instead, these are signs your immune system is responding.

Myth: “If the vaccine isn’t a perfect match, there’s no point in getting it.”
Fact: It’s true that the vaccine isn’t always a perfect match for the strains that emerge in a particular season. But although strain mismatch may reduce overall prevention rates, getting vaccinated still lessens severity of illness, hospitalization risk, and mortality. This is especially true for seniors.

Myth: “You don’t really need to get vaccinated annually.”
Fact: The strains of virus that make the rounds change each year. And seniors are at highest risk of complications related to the flu, such as pneumonia or exacerbation of a chronic health condition. So, it is important to schedule an annual vaccination.

Factors such as timing and cost are important to consider. Some people are fearful of getting their shot in September or October because they believe the protection will fade before the season is over. Others are worried about the expense or whether they can combine vaccines. Here’s what we know:

Best time: While it’s important to discuss timing with your doctor, most recommend aiming to get vaccinated between September and mid-October. This helps ensure optimal protection before flu activity peaks in winter.

Simultaneous vaccines: It’s usually safe to receive flu, COVID-19 (if an updated fall dose is available), and RSV vaccines at the same visit—but spacing them out may reduce side-effect overlap. If you have concerns, talk them over with your primary care physician.

Access and cost: Most insurance plans cover the flu shot at no cost, and you don’t have to wait for an appointment with your physician to get vaccinated. Vaccines are widely available in clinics, pharmacies, and community health centers.

Finally, don’t rely solely on your flu shot to stay healthy this winter. Take steps to increase your body’s immunity before the season begins. For tips on how to do that, read Natural Ways to Boost the Immune System: Hydration, Sleep, Diet, and More.

The Flu Shot and You: What Seniors Should Consider

Every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month brings attention to one of the most common cancers worldwide. While it often evokes images of pink ribbons and fundraising walks, this annual observance is about much more—it’s about education, early detection, advocacy, and support for those affected by breast cancer. And although women are far more likely to be diagnosed, men can get breast cancer, too.

Here’s what everyone, regardless of gender, should know.

Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor that may be felt as a lump or seen on an imaging test. If untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body.

Here are a few basic facts about this disease:

1 in 8 women in the US will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

About 1% of all breast cancer cases occur in men.

Early detection dramatically improves survival rates.

While anyone can develop breast cancer, certain factors increase your risk:

Family history: Having a close relative with breast cancer (especially under age 50) raises your risk.

Genetics: Inherited mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes increase risk.

Hormone exposure: Early menstruation, late menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and having children late or not at all can also increase risk.

Lifestyle: Alcohol use, obesity, and lack of physical activity are known risk factors.

Although less commonly affected, men can also develop breast cancer. This is especially the case if they have high estrogen levels, liver disease, or a strong family history of the disease.

Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer

The most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump in the breast or underarm, but others include:

Swelling or thickening of part of the breast

Redness or flaky skin on the nipple or breast

Men should also watch for lumps in the chest area, nipple discharge, or changes in nipple shape or color.

Don’t ignore any of these symptoms, even if you’re under 40 or male.

There’s no doubt about it, early detection saves lives. When breast cancer is caught in its earliest stages and the disease is localized, the five-year relative survival rate is 99%. The primary methods of early detection include:

Mammograms: Recommended yearly or every two years, starting at age 40 for women at average risk.

Breast ultrasounds: May be used if you have dense breasts or if an area of a mammogram is unclear.

Clinical breast exams: Performed by a healthcare provider.

Self-exam and awareness: Know what’s normal for your body and report any changes promptly.

For women with a strong family history or genetic risk, earlier and more frequent screenings (including MRIs) may be recommended. Men with a family history or known BRCA mutations should also speak with their primary care provider about screening and genetic counseling.

If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, the good news is that treatment options have come a long way over the past few decades. From targeted drug therapy to immunotherapy, modern treatments have improved survival rates and quality of life.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What Women (and Men) Should Know

Each year, Fire Prevention Week serves as an important reminder to take proactive steps to reduce the risk of home fires—and if a fire does break out, to have a system in place to protect members of your household.

Established in 1925 and observed every year in early October, Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It is designed to educate families and communities on potential hazards and modern fire safety practices. The 2025 theme is a good one: Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.

Why Fire Prevention Matters More Than Ever

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a home fire occurs every 95 seconds in the US. Most deadly fires happen at night, while people are sleeping. Seniors, children, and those with disabilities are particularly vulnerable in the event a fire breaks out.

The good news? Most home fires are preventable with a combination of awareness, planning, and smart habits. Here are eight essential fire prevention steps you can take to help you and your family stay safe:

Smoke alarms are your first line of defense. The NFPA recommends that you:

Install smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home (including basements).

Replace batteries at least once a year (or sooner if low-battery warnings chirp).

Consider upgrading to interconnected smoke alarms—when one sounds, they all do. Smart smoke detectors can also send alerts to your phone.

Everyone in your home should know how to get out safely if a fire breaks out:

Draw a map of your home showing all doors and windows.

Choose an outside meeting place (like a tree or mailbox).

Do a practice run of the plan twice a year, including during the night.

Be sure to practice using mobility aids or assisting family members who may need help evacuating.

Cooking remains the leading cause of home fires. To reduce risk:

Turn pot handles inward to prevent spills.

Keep flammable items like towels and curtains away from the stovetop.

Avoid cooking if you’re drowsy or under the influence of alcohol or medication.

Have a lid nearby to smother small grease fires—never use water.

As colder months approach, space heaters and fireplaces are common hazards. To operate them safely:

Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heat sources.

Turn off space heaters when you leave a room or go to bed.

Get chimneys and wood stoves cleaned and inspected annually.

Use a sturdy screen to stop sparks from escaping fireplaces.

Don’t use a space heater with an extension cord.

Fires caused by electrical malfunctions can be especially dangerous. To lower the likelihood of an electrical problem:

Don’t overload outlets or power strips.

Avoid running cords under rugs or furniture.

Hire a licensed electrician for any wiring issues.

Unplug appliances when not in use, especially heat-producing ones like toasters or hair tools.

Keep flammable liquids such as gasoline, paint thinners, and propane outside your home in approved containers. Store them away from heat sources, including water heaters and pilot lights.

7. Install Fire Extinguishers and Know How to Use Them

Place fire extinguishers in key locations: kitchen, garage, and near exits. Learn how to operate them using the PASS method:

Make sure your family knows when to use a fire extinguisher and when to evacuate instead.

For older adults, children, and people with disabilities:

Use visual alarms or bed shaker alarms for the hearing impaired.

Teach children fire safety without causing fear. Practice drills can be made fun.

Make it a habit to keep necessary medications, eyeglasses, and emergency contacts near your bed in case of a nighttime fire.

One final suggestion is to consider investing in a mobile monitoring unit, especially if you are an older adult or live alone. You can store this small device on your nightstand. In the event of a fire or other emergency, you can evacuate and quickly summon help with the press of a button. Call 1-844-203-5617 to learn more!

In honor of Fire Prevention Week, Life Protect 24/7 shares tips to help families plan and prepare. From evacuation practice to kitchen safety, here’s what to know.

Fire Prevention Week: Safety Tips to Protect Your Home and Family

Winter brings a variety of struggles for older adults. For those with mobility challenges, icy sidewalks and driveways can make the risk of falling very real. The colder season can also exacerbate health conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. Then there are those concerns we might not pay much attention to at first, such as skin health.

As the temperatures drop and winter sets in, many people begin to notice changes in their skin. Dryness, itching, and irritation become common complaints. For seniors, these issues can be more than just uncomfortable.

Aging skin is naturally thinner, more delicate, and slower to heal, making it especially vulnerable during the coldest months of the year. Understanding how to care for fragile skin in winter is essential for maintaining comfort, preventing damage, and supporting overall health.

As we age, our skin undergoes several changes that affect its resilience:

Thinning of the epidermis: The outer layer of skin becomes thinner and less able to retain moisture.

Reduced oil production: Sebaceous glands produce less oil, leading to dryness and cracking.

Weaker collagen and elastin: These proteins decline with age, reducing the skin’s strength and elasticity.

Slower cell regeneration: Cuts and scrapes take longer to heal, increasing the risk of infection.

During winter, these age-related changes are compounded by cold air, harsh winds, and dry indoor heating—all of which strip moisture from the skin.

Common Winter Skin Challenges for Seniors

Some of the most common skin issues older adults face in winter include:

Cracks or fissures, especially on hands and feet

Left unaddressed, these symptoms can worsen and lead to painful conditions such as dermatitis, infections, or skin tears.

Caring for aging skin during the winter requires a gentle, consistent approach. Here are some practical and effective strategies:

Using a rich, fragrance-free moisturizer is the cornerstone of winter skin care. Apply lotion immediately after bathing, while the skin is still damp, to lock in moisture. Look for products containing ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid, which help maintain the skin’s natural barrier.

Many soaps and cleansers strip the skin of its natural oils. Seniors should use mild, moisturizing cleansers that are free of alcohol, fragrances, and dyes. Avoid long, hot showers and baths, as they can worsen dryness.

Drinking plenty of water helps keep the skin hydrated from the inside out. Encourage regular water intake, even if seniors don’t feel as thirsty during colder months.

When going outside, it’s essential to cover exposed skin. Wear gloves, scarves, and hats to protect against wind and cold. Use a humidifier indoors to counteract dry, heated air.

Because older skin is more prone to tears and bruising, it’s important to check regularly for any new or worsening skin issues. Notify a healthcare provider if there are signs of infection, persistent dryness, or wounds that won’t heal.

While we’re discussing winter health concerns for seniors, there’s another one that makes its return late in the fall and usually sticks around until spring: the influenza virus. If you haven’t already, be sure to schedule an appointment for your annual flu shot. For those on the fence about whether it works or not, read The Health Benefits of an Annual Flu Shot to learn more!

Winter skin issues can be more than annoying and uncomfortable. Here’s what seniors should know, including how to avoid serious problems.

Seniors and Skin Care: How to Prepare Your Skin for Winter

Most of us think of spring as a time to give our homes a good cleaning and refresh. It helps to shed winter and welcome sunnier days. But fall can be an equally good time to dig in and clean. As the holiday season approaches, the excitement of decorating, hosting parties, and opening gifts with loved ones starts to build. Before the festivities begin, create a plan to declutter and deep clean your home.

Tackling decluttering tasks reduces stress and makes decorating more enjoyable and efficient. It also creates a welcoming environment for guests. Here are some smart strategies for decluttering and deep cleaning before the holiday season begins.

Holiday decorations, gifts, and gatherings all bring extra “stuff” into your home. If your space is already cluttered or disorganized, the added layers can create chaos. For older adults, that can raise the risk of a serious fall. Decluttering in advance clears physical and mental space, allowing you to focus on what really matters—enjoying the season.

Here are a few suggestions for a pre-holiday declutter and cleaning:

Start by creating a schedule that breaks your home into zones (kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.). Assign a day or weekend to each space so you don’t get overwhelmed. Beginning early—ideally in late October or early November—will give you ample time to work at a manageable pace.

In each room, sort items into four categories: keep, donate, discard, and relocate. Be honest with yourself about what you use and love, and why you are hanging on to some items you don’t.

Living room: Remove old magazines, unused electronics, tangled cords, and excess décor. Make space for holiday decorations and guests.

Kitchen: Toss expired pantry items, clear countertops, and organize cabinets. Free up space for holiday baking and entertaining.

Bedrooms: Donate clothing and accessories you haven’t worn in a year. Store off-season items to create more space.

Bathrooms: Discard expired toiletries and medications. Clean out under-sink storage to prepare for guest use.

Entryway: Clear shoes, coats, and mail clutter to create a welcoming first impression.

Once each area is decluttered, do a thorough deep clean. Here’s a checklist to help you tackle key tasks:

Dust and wipe down surfaces: Clean the baseboards, ceiling fans, and vents, as well as behind furniture.

Wash windows and curtains: Let in as much natural light as possible before the shorter days set in.

Clean upholstery and carpets: Vacuum and shampoo to remove allergens and freshen up your home.

Disinfect high-touch areas: Wipe down doorknobs, light switches, and remote controls.

Tackle the kitchen and bathrooms: Scrub sinks, appliances, tile, and grout. Don’t forget inside the fridge and oven.

Once clean and clutter-free, it’s easier to prepare for holiday activities:

Set up a storage spot for gifts/wrapping supplies: Designate a space in your home to store holiday necessities and gifts so you can keep everything tidy and hidden from prying eyes.

Create a guest-ready space: Freshen guest rooms with toiletries, personal care items, and clean linens, and make space in closets and drawers. Even if you don’t think you’ll have overnight guests, it’s nice to have a place for visitors to go to touch up their makeup or freshen their hair.

Prep the dining area: Polish silverware, clean serving dishes, and make sure you have enough seating. Also check that you have enough appetizer plates, napkins, and glasses in case guests drop by unexpectedly. The same goes for your bar. Whether it’s alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverages, be certain you are well-stocked.

If you are struggling to come up with gift ideas for people in your family, consider a mobile monitoring unit. They make great presents for seniors, runners, and children. Contact us today for more details!

The holiday season will be more enjoyable and efficient if you declutter and deep clean your house before the decorations go up. Follow these helpful steps.

Tips for Decluttering Your Home Before the Holidays

Each year, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to review and make changes to their health and drug coverage during the annual Medicare Open Enrollment period. The window to do so is from October 15 to December 7, and any changes you make during that time will take effect on January 1 of the following year. It is the only chance most people will have during the year to switch plans or make adjustments to their current Medicare coverage.

It’s always a good idea to get an early start on reviewing options. Whether you’re considering a new Medicare Advantage Plan, reviewing your prescription drug coverage, or exploring additional benefits, preparation is key to making informed decisions. And that sometimes takes more than a little time.

Medicare Open Enrollment, also known as the Annual Election Period (AEP), is a designated time when Medicare recipients can:

Switch from Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C)

Switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan back to Original Medicare

Change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another

Join, drop, or change a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D)

After this period, your ability to make changes is limited unless you are eligible for a Special Enrollment Period. This requires a qualifying life event, such as moving or losing other coverage.

Review Your Plan, Even If You Are Happy With It

Medicare plans can change from year to year. Premiums, copayments, deductibles, drug formularies (covered medications), and provider networks may all be updated. Even if you have been satisfied with your plan in the past, it might not meet your needs in the coming year.

That’s why it’s essential to carefully review the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) that your plan sends out each fall. This document outlines all changes to your current plan for the upcoming year.

In addition, your own health situation might have changed. You may have new prescriptions, different doctors, or increased healthcare needs. Comparing your current coverage to other available options can help ensure you get the best value and the coverage that matches your needs.

Review current coverage: Gather all recent medical bills, pharmacy records, and your current Medicare plan documents. Understand what your plan covered well—and what it didn’t.

Check for plan changes: Look over the ANOC and check for changes in premiums, coverage, and provider networks. Make sure your preferred doctors and medications will still be covered.

Use Medicare’s official tools: There are a variety of resources and tools designed to help make this process go more smoothly. You can find them by visiting Medicare.gov. One of the most popular is the Medicare Plan Finder, which allows you to see the options available in your area and compare costs, coverage, and ratings for different plans.

Seek professional guidance: If you find this process tough to navigate, know that you aren’t alone. You can receive help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). These services are typically free, and counselors offer unbiased advice.

One final suggestion is to set aside a few blocks of time on your calendar to explore your options. Don’t wait until the last minute. Make your changes well before the December 7 deadline to ensure there are no delays in processing your new plan.

We know the Medicare benefit can be more than a little confusing. If you are a senior who is new to the program, you are especially likely to have some questions. One resource that can help answer them is Medicare 101 for New Retirees. The article covers everything from costs to coverage.

Medicare’s annual open enrollment is on the horizon. This information will help you learn more about this once-a-year window to make changes to your plan.

Get Ready for Medicare’s Annual Open Enrollment

As the weather in the Midwest begins to cool off and the days become shorter, people may feel the need to stay indoors more. And for some, the cold season can mark the return of an unwelcome condition known as seasonal affective disorder.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at certain times of the year, most commonly during the fall and winter months. As the days grow shorter and sunlight becomes scarce, many individuals experience a noticeable dip in mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. While it may seem like just a case of the “winter blues,” SAD is a serious condition that can significantly impact daily life if left untreated.

SAD is closely linked to the changes in daylight that occur during the fall and winter. The reduced level of sunlight can disrupt the body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, leading to feelings of depression. This lack of sunlight may also lead to a drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter that affects mood, and disrupt levels of melatonin, which is involved in sleep and mood regulation.

Geography also plays a role—people who live farther from the equator are more likely to suffer from SAD due to the longer, darker winters. For example, those living in northern regions, where daylight hours dramatically decrease, are at higher risk than those in sunnier, more temperate climates.

The symptoms of SAD often mirror those of major depression but follow a seasonal pattern. Common symptoms include:

Fatigue or low energy despite adequate sleep

Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

Sleep disturbances (usually oversleeping)

Changes in appetite, especially cravings for carbohydrates

Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness

SAD typically begins in late fall and continues through the winter months, with symptoms easing during the spring and summer.

6 Ideas to Help Prevent or Reduce Symptoms of SAD

While seasonal affective disorder can be challenging, there are several effective strategies for prevention and symptom management:

One of the most common treatments for SAD is light therapy, also known as phototherapy. This involves sitting near a specially designed light box that mimics natural sunlight. Daily use—typically 20 to 30 minutes in the morning—can help regulate circadian rhythms and improve mood. It’s important to use a UV-free light box that emits 10,000 lux.

Spending time outdoors during daylight hours, even on cloudy days, can be beneficial. Open blinds, sit near windows, and if you are able, lace on some sturdy boots with nonskid soles and take short walks to increase your exposure to natural light.

Physical activity is a proven mood booster. Exercise releases endorphins, which can help reduce symptoms of depression. Even a daily 30-minute walk can make a difference.

Eating a well-balanced diet can stabilize your mood and energy levels. Avoid excessive sugar and refined carbs, which may contribute to energy crashes and mood swings. Incorporate complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.

Winter can lead to isolation, which worsens SAD and clinical depression. For seniors, the negative health effects of isolation are well-documented. It raises the risk of medical conditions such as obesity and heart disease. So making an effort to stay socially connected with friends and family may help prevent not only SAD but other health challenges, too.

Finally, if symptoms become severe or persistent, it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider. Counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and, in some cases, antidepressant medications can be very effective in treating SAD.

Stay Safe This Winter With a Mobile Monitoring Device

If you are concerned about your safety when you venture outdoors during colder months of the year, one solution is to invest in a mobile monitoring unit. These discreet devices can be easily slipped into a pocket or purse. In the event of an emergency, you can press a button to be quickly connected to someone who can help.

Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder: Causes, Effects, and Prevention

Being diagnosed with high cholesterol can be alarming, especially if it comes as a surprise, as it often does. While it is more common among seniors, an increasing number of younger people in the US are finding themselves living with it too. Research shows nearly 7% of kids and teens between 6 to 19 years old have high total cholesterol.

Because high cholesterol is a key risk factor for heart disease and stroke, it’s important to be tested regularly—and if you do have high cholesterol, to make sure your condition is well managed. Having the right information can help you make lifestyle changes, and, if necessary, begin a medication regimen.

If your doctor has informed you that your cholesterol levels are elevated, asking the right questions is critical for understanding your condition and taking control of your health. Here are some suggestions for what to ask your doctor after a diagnosis.

Talking With Your Doctor About High Cholesterol

Cholesterol isn’t a single number. It comprises several different factors. Ask your doctor to break down your lipid panel, including:

LDL (low-density lipoprotein): High levels of LDL, often called “bad” cholesterol, can lead to plaque buildup in arteries.

HDL (High-density lipoprotein): This “good” cholesterol helps remove LDL from the bloodstream.

Triglycerides: This is another type of fat that, when elevated, can increase heart disease risk.

Total cholesterol: While this combined measure offers a general view, individual levels are more telling.

Understanding your numbers will help you see where changes need to be made.

High cholesterol can be influenced by many factors, including diet, physical activity, weight, age, and genetics. Ask your doctor to help identify the likely contributors in your case. This can guide you in deciding whether to try and lower your cholesterol through lifestyle adjustments alone, or if medication is also needed.

If your cholesterol levels are very high or if you have other risk factors (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of heart problems), a medication such as a statin may be recommended. Ask:

How long will I need to take the medication?

Can I Lower My Cholesterol Through Diet and Exercise?

Genetics can impact cholesterol and risk for heart disease, but it is still possible to control your cholesterol levels. For many people, lifestyle changes can have a significant impact. Ask your doctor:

What type of diet should I follow? (The Mediterranean and DASH diets are commonly recommended.)

Are there specific foods I should avoid or add?

How much and what kind of exercise is beneficial?

A referral to a registered dietitian or exercise specialist may also be helpful.

How Often Should I Have My Cholesterol Checked?

Monitoring is important to see whether your efforts are working. Ask how often you need blood tests and follow-up appointments.

What Is My Overall Risk for Heart Disease?

Cholesterol is just one aspect of your cardiovascular health. Ask about your overall risk and what other tests might be necessary, such as blood pressure checks, glucose testing, or even a coronary calcium scan.

Discuss how progress will be measured—both in lab values and symptoms (if any). Ask how soon you should expect to see changes after you implement lifestyle modifications or start medication.

Regardless of what health issues you are experiencing, from heart disease to diabetes, being prepared for the worst can help you feel more confident going about your day. One step you can take is to purchase a mobile monitoring unit. These discreet devices can be easily slipped into a pocket or purse. If you experience a medical emergency, you can be connected with someone who can help with the press of a button.
