Cold weather can make staying comfortable at home more challenging for older adults, but not every warming product is equally safe. Senior Home Safety Specialist Robin Schiltz explains what to look for in heated throws, electric blankets, heating pads, and non-electric warming options, along with important precautions caregivers should know.

She also discusses automatic shutoff, simple controls, space-heater safety, and why checking current product recalls matters.
