🌡️ Heat Wave Alert: Stay Safe and Stay Cool

We're in the middle of an intense heat wave, with temperatures soaring well above seasonal norms. This extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it can be dangerous. Whether you're working outside, running errands, or staying home, please take precautions to protect yourself and others.

Here’s what you need to know:

🫗 Hydrate constantly – Drink water throughout the day, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.

🧊 Stay cool – Use fans, take cool showers, and stay indoors during peak heat hours (usually 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.).

🫂 Check on others – Elderly neighbours, children, and pets are especially vulnerable. A quick call or visit could save a life.

🚗 Never leave anyone in a parked car – Even for a few minutes. The temperature inside can rise dangerously fast.

🩷 Know the signs of heat-related illness – Dizziness, nausea, headache, rapid heartbeat, or confusion are red flags. Seek medical attention immediately if these occur.

Stay informed by following local weather alerts.

Let’s look out for each other and get through this safely.

🌞 Heat Wave Advisory from Take Five Homecare

As temperatures continue to rise across our region, Take Five Homecare urges all clients, families, and caregivers to take extra precautions during this severe heat wave.

Extreme heat can pose serious health risks, especially for older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions. Please take a moment to review these essential safety tips:

💧 Stay Hydrated – Drink water regularly throughout the day. Even if you’re not thirsty, staying hydrated is vital.

🌡️ Keep Cool – Use fans or air conditioning if available. Stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day (typically 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Light, breathable clothing helps too.

👵 Check in Often – Our caregivers are keeping a close eye on clients, but we also encourage families to check in with their loved ones frequently.

🚗 Never leave anyone in a car – Even a few minutes in a parked vehicle can be life-threatening in this heat.

⚠️ Know the Warning Signs – Watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion: dizziness, nausea, confusion, rapid pulse, or fainting. Seek medical help immediately if any of these appear.

At Take Five Homecare, the health and safety of our clients is our top priority. If you have any concerns or notice anything unusual, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our care team.

Let’s stay safe, stay cool, and support one another.
