HSE area manager Brendan Gloster says the key essentials to look out for are  adequate heat, shelter, food, warm drinks, prescribed medicines, falls and loneliness.

He added that while many people require assistance and care throughout the year, harsh weather, even for a short spell, can make their circumstances more difficult.
