Attentive Care Tip of the Month: Heat Stroke and Seniors
As the summer weather causes all of us to take notice, making sure that our senior loved ones are safe and secure is of the utmost importance. The first step is to identify and understand their health conditions. Making certain that extra water and refreshing sports drinks do not negatively impact their current medications is essential. Next, identify the symptoms of heat stroke. If your senior is showing confusion, agitation, or behavioral changes, has flushed/dry skin, rapid or shallow breathing, nausea, and vomiting, has a fainting spell, or an elevated body temperature over 104 degrees, they may have heat stroke. Additionally, encourage appropriate fluid intake and appropriate dress. Remind your loved one to drink water throughout the day (that is not too cold) and convince them to wear clothing that is light, loose, and breathable. They can stay cool by using air conditioning, remaining on the ground floor of the house, and, if out of the house, spending time indoors in cool settings, including shopping malls, public libraries, and coffee shops.
As people age, their sweat glands become less efficient and their sense of thirst diminishes, making it harder to stay hydrated. By following these tips, we can assist our senior population to remain comfortable within the confines of their own home.
