Elderly people often have more trouble dealing with summer heat. Senior Helpers, one of the largest in-home senior care companies, recommends creating "Senior Summer Survival Kits" to help your residents and loved ones cope with hot weather.
These kits are low-cost and easy to assemble. Examples of contents include:
- A reusable water bottle to encourage proper hydration
- Copies of all prescriptions and health insurance cards
- Phone numbers of healthcare providers and information about any health conditions
- Sunscreen (at least SPF 30) to prevent serious burns
- Multivitamins to keep the immune system strong
- Hand-held fans
