# Wet Leaves and Frosty Steps in Pickens County, SC

Fall in Pickens County brings wet leaves on walkways and frost on porch steps. Both make slips more likely for older adults. A companion can help keep paths clear and walk alongside on errands. Non-medical support only; call 911 for any fall with injury.

- Sweep leaves off steps, ramps, and the path to the mailbox, especially after rain.
- Check that porch and step railings are solid and easy to grip.
- Wear shoes with good tread outside, even for a quick trip to the car.
- On frosty mornings, wait until later in the day to go out, or have a companion walk along.
