The weather is cooling down, the fall colors are vibrant, and leaves are falling here in Central Iowa – which means that winter is quickly approaching.🍂❄️🌬️ Winter in Iowa can bring frigid cold temps, icy and snowy conditions, deep freezes, slippery walkways, and more that can pose an increased risk for our seniors. At Edencrest, we ensure that all of these things and more are prepped to keep our residents and guests safe. Learn more about how we do that and if Edencrest could be the solution for you & your loved ones.👇 https://bit.ly/3YHJ99C 🔗 #edencrestliving #edencrestcommunities #seniorlivingdsm #seniorliving

💧 Wellness Tip 💧 Stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps maintain energy levels, supports digestion, and keeps joints flexible. Ensuring proper hydration is key to maintaining overall health and wellness, especially as the body ages.💪 Dehydration can have several negative effects on the body, especially for seniors. Some key impacts include: • Fatigue and Low Energy: Dehydration reduces blood volume, making the heart work harder, which can lead to feelings of tiredness and lethargy. • Dizziness and Confusion: Dehydration can lead to lightheadedness or even confusion, which increases the risk of falls, particularly in older adults. • Muscle Cramps: Lack of fluids can cause muscles to cramp or spasm, resulting in discomfort and reduced mobility. • Dry Skin and Mouth: Insufficient hydration leads to dry skin and mouth, increasing discomfort and potentially leading to skin breakdown in seniors. #seniorliving #wellnesstip #seniorwellnesstip #seniorlivingcommunity #edencrest #stayhydrated
