With the Extremely High Heat Index we have been experiencing, it is importantly to protect yourself from getting overheated!

Seniors are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illnesses due to age-related changes that affect the body's ability to regulate temperature. To protect themselves, seniors should stay in air-conditioned spaces as much as possible, drink plenty of fluids, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and avoid strenuous activity during peak heat hours.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Stay Cool Indoors:
Air Conditioning: Seek out air-conditioned spaces like homes, libraries, or senior centers. If your home doesn't have AC, consider spending time in a public space with AC.
Limit Heat Sources: Avoid using the oven or stove during the hottest parts of the day, as these can increase indoor temperatures.
Cool Baths/Showers: Take cool showers or baths to help lower body temperature.
Damp Clothing: Dampening clothing and sitting in front of a fan can also help cool down.

2. Stay Hydrated:
Drink Regularly: Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty. Water, sports drinks, or juices are good options.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These can dehydrate you.
Check with Doctor: If you have fluid restrictions, consult your doctor about how much to drink during hot weather.

3. Dress Appropriately:
Light Colors: Wear light-colored clothing that reflects heat.
Light Fabrics: Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen.
Loose-Fitting: Wear loose-fitting clothing to allow for better airflow.

4. Limit Outdoor Activity:
Avoid Peak Hours: Try to stay indoors during the hottest part of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Pace Yourself: If you must be outside, avoid strenuous activity and take breaks in the shade.
Sun Protection: Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.

5. Check in on Others:
Look Out for Each Other:
Check on friends, family, and neighbors, especially those who are elderly or have health conditions.
Ask for Help:
If you need assistance getting to a cooler location, don't hesitate to ask for help.

6. Be Aware of Medications:
Side Effects: Some medications can affect your body's ability to regulate temperature. Consult your doctor about any potential side effects.
By taking these precautions, seniors can significantly reduce their risk of heat-related illnesses and stay safe during hot weather, according to the American Red Cross and the CDC.

Why In Home Care?
In-home care offers several advantages, primarily focusing on personalized, comfortable, and independent living. It allows individuals to remain in their familiar environment, receive tailored care, and potentially experience a faster recovery with reduced risk of hospital readmissions and infections. Additionally, in-home care can be a more cost-effective option compared to institutional care settings.
Want to find out more and explore your options for care at home for you or a loved one? Call today and we will answer your questions and help you decide what works for you! When you use a Nurse Registry, you direct your care so it is just what you want or need! (772) 621-2988

When a loved one gets Alzheimer’s or Dementia, it can be hard to know how to best help them with every day life. It can be overwhelming and sometimes you may need a break. If you need help, we have caregivers trained to assist in the care of your loved one. I read this today, and I think it can be very helpful in providing guidance as sometimes you may not know what to do.

If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Margaret.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.

15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”
