FALL BACK ~ END OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Care Wagon Medical Transport
would like to remind everyone to
Turn Back Your Clocks
 and Change Those Smoke Alarm Batteries

Daylight Saving Time Ends Care Wagon Reminder

Please also reach out to your elderly relatives, friends and neighbors that may need help completing these tasks for their safety!

This 1st WEEKEND of NOVEMBER we all get an extra hour of sleep as we turn our clocks back one hour to mark the end of Daylight Saving Time. The American Red Cross recommends changing your smoke alarm batteries and testing those alarms at the same time.

In addition to checking your smoke alarms, Care Wagon is also asking everyone to PRACTICE HOME FIRE DRILLS. Make sure all household members know two ways to escape from every room of your home, and set up a meeting place outside in case of fire. Practice escaping from your home at least twice a year and at different times of the day. Teach household members to stop, drop and roll if their clothing should catch on fire.

Enjoy your extra hour of sleep this 1st Weekend of November!

  • Gain a better understanding of the alternative transportation options available.
  • Learn how to access information on community transportation services.
