Family and friends can help alleviate this by visiting loved ones or arranging transportation for them through the local senior center. Flu. Seniors are especially susceptible to the flu because they have weakened immune systems. The flu vaccine and proper hand hygiene can help ward it off. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Many people get the blues during the winter due to a decrease in daytime light. Be sure to open blinds and curtains to take advantage of what light there is and consider investing in a light therapy system. Sundowners Syndrome.
