Tips to remember about Seniors for Summer Months...

Older adults are especially susceptible to heat-related injuries and heat stroke.

* Older adults may experience sunburn quicker because of changes in skin texture. Sunburn makes it more difficult to stay cool. Use sunblock (SPF 30 or greater) when outdoors for prolonged periods of time, even on cloudy days.

* Asphalt and concrete can reach up to 40 degrees hotter than the air temperature, and remains hotter than the air well into the night. Avoid prolonged exposure to the city's streets and sidewalks.

* It may be more difficult for older adults to sense elevations in temperature and for their bodies to cool down. Anticipate change by turning on air conditioning systems or other ventilators when entering a room and taking off extra layers of clothing when going outside. This is especially important for older adults with memory disorders.

* Medications for chronic conditions can contribute to heat-related injuries Make sure you ask your physician if any of your medications might put you at increased risk.

*Headaches, nausea and weakness are all signs of heat exhaustion. Everyone should stay hydrated by drinking water or sports drinks. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you.

* Heat stroke can be fatal. Heat waves kill more Americans than any other type of natural disaster. Older adults should always have a family member friend, neighbor or home health aide who can check up on them regularly.

* High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity memory disorders and psychiatric illness all increase the risk of heat stroke. Drink plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. If you have a heart condition, consult your physician regarding your fluid intake.

* Muscle cramps, dizziness, clammy skin and rapid heartbeat may be heat-related conditions. When temperatures begin to reach extreme highs, slow down, stay in the coolest place available and reduce or eliminate all strenuous activities.

Our prayers are with the families in Central Oklahoma, Newcastle, Moore, SW OKC, Edmond, Carney, Shawnee, Bethel Acres and others. What a devastating start to the week. So far, we are not hearing any word of anyone suffering losses (material or life) from our ASC family, but our hearts go out to our neighbors, family members, friends, church members, etc... God Be With all of these folks thru these really tough times. Amen.

Continue to pray for all of those whose lives were effected by the tragic fires last week. We had several clients close to the fires but none with losses as of yet. Our director was traveling to a clients home on Saturday and saw three different cars throw ci******es out the window. If you see someone carelessly throwing out ci******es, jot down tag number to let the authorities know. The fires in Oklahoma could have been prevented. Let's all do our part...

It is HOT out there this summer. We hope everyone is drinking a lot of fluids. Remember, water alone may lead to other issues in this heat. Make sure you are hydrating yourself with electrolites (ie Gatorade/Powerade). Hydration prevention could save your life...
