Get ready! National Geographic says that as a result of an El Nino, this summer could be one of the hottest in history. As we age, we lose some of the senses that tell us it’s time to help our bodies cool down. For this reason, some seniors don’t quite feel the heat, and sometimes they need a caregiver or loved one to remind them.

Here’s how Comfort Keepers can help seniors keep things cool and comfortable this summer: http://bit.ly/2Lr2eb8
