Get a flu shot if it's available in your area. Flu season runs from mid-October to mid-March. Flu can be fatal to older adults.
Ask your doctor about a vaccine that protects against pneumonia.
Check the lighting in your home. Make sure there are no major lighting contrasts from one room to another, because older people have difficulty adjusting to changes in light. High contrasts in lighting can increase the risk of slips and falls. Use night lights. Tape extension cords to the floor so they're not loose.
