  KEEPINGS SENIORS SAFE IN SUMMERS Summers can be an enjoyable weather for seniors where they can let their guards down and indulge in outdoor activities that can be relaxing for them. It is the best weather to enjoy a day at the beach or a picnic at the park with friends. While getting some essential vitamin D from the sun is important, with seniors there are always some risks involved. Keeping in mind their independence and their safety, here are some tips to keep in check before they leave home! Skin Care – Sun is without doubt the best natural source of vitamin D, but exposure to sun can take a toll on their skin. With age, their skin has become thin and delicate and sunburn is a cause of concern. When going outdoors, they should always use a sunscreen having at least 30 SPF or higher to prevent sunburns and heat marks.

CARGIVING AND COMPLICATIONS OF SUMMER WEATHER

Changes in weather is a challenging time for all senior adults. Our seniors react differently to hot weather and are more susceptible to dehydration and heat-related conditions such as disorientation, tan, loss of appetite etc. There is also an increased risk of COVID related illness, as the world is opening up and restrictions are being lifted. Therefore it is important to take precautions and keep them extra safe during the summer. Here are some tips to keep our beloved seniors happy, healthy, active, and safe this summer.

1.  COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

Continue practicing COVID-19 precautions even if everything opens up and all is going well. Use a mask when outdoors, wash and sanitize your hands regularly, maintain social distance and do not venture outside unless necessary, and the last but not the least, get medical attention or home healthcare services if required.

2.  HYDRATE

Dehydration can lead to complication such as heat exhaustion, it is particularly common among older adults. A caregiver can help keep a keen eye and play an important role in reminding the seniors to stay hydrated by encouraging them to drink plenty of water and liquids such as lemonade, sparkling water, juices, buttermilk, etc.



3.  STAY COOL

Keeping the air conditioning on and keeping the temperature in the house pleasant as it helps them in keeping cool and avoiding dehydration and at the same time, keeps other heat-related illnesses at bay.

4   SKIN AND EYE CARE

With age, our seniors tend to become more photosensitive and their skin has weakened and has increased sensitivity to the sun. Getting them to wear comfortable clothing, use a sunblock, and wearing sunglasses is necessary to protect them from the ill-effects of the sun. They should also limit their outdoor activity between 10 am and 5 pm when the sun is at its peak.

5.  SUPPORT SYSTEM

A support system is very important for older adults around the year and specially for those who stay alone. A support network with relatives and family members who take turns in visiting and checking in on the elders is a good way to stay in the loop. Another way forward, especially if your seniors are unable to be independent and need help due to a medical emergency, getting an attendant is a good idea for having a trained and experienced person at home caring for them.

Home Nursing Services in Delh i Occupying the home nursing services in Delhi and also in other places has become one of the most comfortable and convenient ways to look after your loving people. Being supremely engaged in work it turns out to be very stressful and hectic for a person to maintain a balance between his/her professional and personal life.
