Before heading out, older adults should verify they have their phone fully charged and programmed with emergency contacts, along with any necessary medications and a list of current prescriptions. It’s wise to check the weather and dress appropriately, wear sturdy shoes, and carry a small bottle of water. Informing a family member or neighbor of your route and expected return time adds an extra layer of safety, ensuring someone knows to check in if you’re delayed.
