Hot Weather Continues After Labor Day
However, summer is not over and according to the weather channel we can expect many more days of great weather.
On a personal note, I admit that I did my share of ignoring office work the last few weeks of August, thinking Summer was over and because I’ve been depressed over my mother’s health, the death of some wonderful clients. I now have to make some changes in my lifestyle starting this week so that I can feel more energetic before the first frost.
The reason, I’m ranting is because none of this means that we now stop watching our elders during the next couple of weeks because Summer is not over and temperatures could still get pretty hot for our seniors.
Whenever the weather is hot, we stress the importance of safeguarding our elders.
Elders can easily become dehydrated because they have poor circulation and their sweat glands don’t function as efficiently as they did when they were younger.
Remember to pay close attention to them because some older people have to deal with serious conditions of the heart or lungs that make heat a greater risk.
Also, seniors generally take medications that can affect the way they regulate heat and can cause them to become ill faster on those extremely hot days. Let’s work together to safeguard their health - MAIN LINE ELDER CARE ASSOCIATES offers monitoring services www.mainlineeldercare.com
