During extreme heat events like we are experiencing right now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends checking in on older adults twice a day, especially if you are a caregiver to them. Use the following as a checklist:• What is the indoor and outdoor temperature where they are?• Are they drinking enough water and taking steps to stay hydrated? • Do they have access to air conditioning and/or a cool location?• Do they know where to go if their home is too hot and do they have transportation to a cool location?• How are they feeling? Do they show any signs of heat stress or heat related illness?• Do they have electricity or is there a power outage? Do they have medical equipment that requires electrical power or medications that require refrigeration? (e.g. oxygen concentrators, mobility equipment, insulin, etc.)#ElderServices #heatwave ...
