Tips for Winter Wellness
There are a number of techniques that can help keep your immunity high and your body in good condition to
support wellness all season long so that you can enjoy the chillier months.
Get Up & Moving
Winter brings fewer hours of sunlight during the day, and per the National Sleep Foundation, darkness naturally
causes the brain to release melatonin, a hormone that triggers sleepiness. Exercise can counteract this drowsiness.
Add Herbal Supplements
Herbal supplements can help support overall health. For example, the supplement turmeric, derived from root
extracts of the Curcuma longa plant, is widely regarded to have numerous positive health implications.
Get Ample Rest
The National Sleep Foundation recommends older adults get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night for optimal
health.
Boost Immunity
During the winter months, when fresh fruit can be harder to find, supplements like Echinacea & Vitamin C from
Nature's Way can be another source of vitamin C.
Maintain Skin Health
You can take steps to minimize painful redness and flakiness or cracking by regularly moisturizing your skin with
fragrance-free lotions and herbal oils.
GENERATIONS AT CHOPMIST HILL INN
&
SCITUATE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Join forces to bring the elder and disabled residents of Scituate a proven successful program.
~Do you as an elder worry about how authorities would get to you should something happen while home alone?
~Do you worry if your parent or grandparent needs help while home alone?
~What if an elder falls while home alone?
WORRY NO MORE!
Lock box program: Through the generous donations made by business owners within our community; each senior/disabled resident who
signs up will be given a lock box to be placed on the side of the home (electrical box) with the key to the house along with 1 emergency
contact within the box.
à upon call to 911, the dispatch operator will be immediately notified by either name or address given that there is a lock box assigned to
that home for easier access.
The dispatcher immediately relays the lock box code to the responding officer.
à This simple, proactive collaboration between Scituate Senior Services and Scituate Police Department will save the town unnecessary cost
of forced entry.
Please head over to Generations at Chopmist Hill Inn to sign up today!
ALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO GENEROUSLY DONATE TO THE LOCK BOX PROGRAM
PLEASE CONTACT GENERATIONS AT CHOPMIST HILL INN at 647-2662.
