Pack a "Senior Summer Survival Kit" to Fight the Heat



It's shaping up to be a hot weekend here in Illinois! Is your facility ready? If you haven't already, we recommend creating "Senior Summer Survival Kits" to help your residents and loved ones cope with the 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
  • Hand-held fans 
Happy Friday from our team to yours!
