😎Summer is here, and the temperatures are climbing. It also means the risk of dehydration rises for older adults. Learn the symptoms of dehydration in seniors: 🤔Confusion 😵💫Dizziness 💦Extreme thirst 🥱Fatigue 🚽Urinating less frequently The CDC recommends having your loved one stay in an air-conditioned place during extreme heat. If they don’t have air conditioning at home, visiting the shopping mall or public library for a few hours can help their body stay cooler when they go back into the heat. Check with your local health department for heat-relief shelters in your area. When temperatures climb into the 90s, fans may provide comfort, but they won’t prevent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower or bath or wearing loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing will help your loved one stay cool.
