☀️ Keeping Loved Ones Safe in the Summer Heat
High temperatures can be dangerous for older adults, especially those with chronic conditions. Try these simple tips:
* Encourage hydration: Offer water regularly, even if they don’t feel thirsty.
* Stay indoors during peak heat: Limit outdoor activity between 10 AM–4 PM.
* Dress for comfort: Choose lightweight, light-colored clothing.
* Cool the home: Use fans or air conditioning, or visit a cooling center.
* Watch for warning signs: Dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, or nausea can signal heat-related illness.
