It’s hotter than a pepper sprout out there! 🥵

And while we’re all reaching for iced drinks and fans, older adults need a little extra care to stay safe in the summer heat.

Here’s your caregiver-approved summer safety toolkit for aging loved ones:

💧 Hydrate with variety – Water is essential, but try chilled fruit, herbal iced tea, smoothies, or even popsicles to keep it fun and refreshing.

👒 Dress smart – Light, breathable clothing and wide-brimmed hats help regulate temperature and protect sensitive skin.

🌬️ Cool it down – If there’s no AC, use fans, cold washcloths, or even a bowl of cool water for hands and wrists to provide quick relief.

🌿 Time outdoor activities wisely – Early mornings or evenings are safest. A short stroll, porch chat, or birdwatching can bring joy without overheating.

👂 Connect with care – Sometimes, just being present — listening, sharing a memory, or sitting together — is the best form of comfort.

Let’s keep our older adults safe, seen, and supported this summer.

As temperatures drop, we’re thinking about aging adults in our community.

Winter can be a tough season—icy sidewalks, rising heating costs, and longer nights can leave many feeling isolated and vulnerable. For aging adults, these challenges can feel even more overwhelming.

But it doesn’t have to be.

With the right preparation, our loved ones can navigate the colder months confidently.

Here are a few winter safety tips to get started: ⤵

❄️ Seal in the warmth: Weatherproof doors and windows to keep your home cozy and energy costs low.
❄️ Step confidently: Sturdy shoes with non-slip soles can prevent falls on icy surfaces.
❄️ Stay active indoors: Simple stretches or chair yoga can keep your body moving even when it’s too cold to go outside.
❄️ Be prepared for storms: Stock up on food, water, and medications so you’re ready for anything.

Connection is just as important as preparation. A phone call, visit, or quick check-in can make a big difference for someone navigating the challenges of winter. 💚
