If you\u2019re an older adult living on your own, or care for an older person living alone, here\u2019s what you need to do to stay safe.<br \/>Keep emergency numbers handy<br \/>Always keep a list of emergency numbers by each phone.

Never place scatter rugs at the bottom or top of stairs.<br \/>Protect against fire and related dangers<br \/>\u2022 When you&#8217;re cooking, don&#8217;t wear loose clothes or clothes with long

Children would dance around the maypole, holding onto colorful ribbons. People would \u201cbring in the May\u201d by gathering wildflowers and green branches, weaving floral hoops and hair garlands, and crowning a May king and queen.<br \/>Ever heard of the May baskets? People would leave a paper basket or cone containing spring flowers and sweets on each other\u2019s doorsteps, usually anonymously. This tradition was popular through the 19th and 20th centuries, especially with children or sweethearts. The custom was to knock on the door, yell \u201cMay basket!\u201d and then run. If the recipient caught the giver, he or she was entitled to a kiss.<br \/>Among the many superstitions associated with May Day was the belief that washing the face with dew on the morning of May 1 would beautify the skin and bring good luck. We say go ahead! Walk outside and sprinkle your face with morning dew (or snow!).<br \/>On May 1, people in Britain welcome spring by \u201cBringing in the May,\u201d or gathering cuttings of flowering trees for their homes.<br \/>Kids would go barefoot on May Day for the first time. Whatever your age today, walk barefoot in the morning dew (or snow?).<br \/>In parts of Ireland, people would make a May bush; typically, this was a thorn bush or branch decorated with flowers and ribbons.<br \/>Beekeepers traditionally moved bees on May 1.<br \/>Traditionally, farmers planted turnips on this day. Other folklore has it that, to protect cucumbers from insects, they should be planted on May 1. For best results, they should be planted naked!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92d2853 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"92d2853\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-check-double\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M505 174.8l-39.6-39.6c-9.4-9.4-24.6-9.4-33.9 0L192 374.7 80.6 263.2c-9.4-9.4-24.6-9.4-33.9 0L7 302.9c-9.4 9.4-9.4 24.6 0 34L175 505c9.4 9.4 24.6 9.4 33.9 0l296-296.2c9.4-9.5 9.4-24.7.1-34zm-324.3 106c6.2 6.3 16.4 6.3 22.6 0l208-208.2c6.2-6.3 6.2-16.4 0-22.6L366.1 4.7c-6.2-6.3-16.4-6.3-22.6 0L192 156.2l-55.4-55.5c-6.2-6.3-16.4-6.3-22.6 0L68.7 146c-6.2 6.3-6.2 16.4 0 22.6l112 112.2z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2fe0c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e2fe0c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">More Articles<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa43ce8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-posts\" data-id=\"aa43ce8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;card_slides_to_show&quot;:1,&quot;card_slides_to_show_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;card_slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:1}\" data-widget_type=\"uael-posts.card\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post-grid uael-posts uael-post_structure-featured uael-featured_post_structure-inline\" data-query-type=\"custom\" data-structure=\"featured\" data-layout=\"\" data-page=\"23133\" data-skin=\"card\" data-filter-default=\"\" data-offset-top=\"30\" >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post-grid__inner uael-post__columns-1 uael-post__columns-tablet-2 uael-post__columns-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"uael-post-wrapper  uael-post-wrapper-featured decision-guides \">\n\t<div class=\"uael-post__bg-wrap\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__inner-wrap uael-post__noimage\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__content-wrap\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uael-post__title\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/atlasseniorliving.com\/monark-grove-greystone\/2026\/03\/26\/when-families-choose-short-term-assisted-living-for-recovery-or-respite\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\tWhen Families Choose Short-Term Assisted Living for Recovery or Respite\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__meta-data\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__separator\"><\/div>\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__excerpt\">\n\t\t\t<p>Short-term assisted living often becomes relevant at a very specific point in a family\u2019s life.
