Group provides assistance to elderly when springing forward

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – We’re springing forward this weekend, and while you have to turn the clock ahead and lose an hour of sleep, there’s something else to keep in mind. Fire officials say it’s important to change the batteries in your smoke detector. FirstLight HomeCare has launched a spring assist program to help the elderly with this matter. Organizers say they don’t want them falling, so they will switch out batteries for the elderly. Registration is easy. Simply call 803-920-6148 or email to lprice@firstlighthomecare.com. The offer is available to the first 100 callers.
