Summer Sizzle and Senior Smiles: Tips for Caring for Loved Ones this Summer
KS CASS • 24 June 2024
Summer's here, bringing sunshine, longer days, and hopefully, plenty of opportunities to spend quality time with loved ones.
But for those caring for elderly or vulnerable relatives, the hot weather can also present challenges. Here at KS CASS Care Services, we want to help you make the most of the season while ensuring your loved one stays safe and comfortable.
Keeping Cool and Hydrated:
- Beat the heat: The heat can be a real concern, especially for older adults. Keep your loved one's environment cool with blinds drawn during the hottest part of the day and fans circulating air. Consider portable air conditioners for extra comfort.
- Hydration is key: Dehydration is a serious risk in hot weather. Encourage regular sips of water throughout the day, even if they don't feel thirsty. Infused water with fruits like cucumber or berries can add a refreshing twist.
- Light and loose clothing: Opt for breathable cotton clothing in light colours to keep them cool.
Summer Activities for Everyone:
Summer isn't just about staying indoors! Here are some ideas for fun and engaging activities suitable for various needs:
- Shady strolls: Take advantage of cooler mornings or evenings for gentle walks in parks or around the block. Seek out shady paths and remember sun protection!
- Sensory gardens: Many Nottingham community centres have sensory gardens designed for relaxation and stimulation. Fragrant flowers, soothing water features, and calming greenery can create a delightful escape.
- Backyard fun: Even a small patio can become a summer haven. Set up a shady spot, plant some herbs, or enjoy a picnic lunch outdoors.
- Bring the outdoors in: If venturing out is difficult, bring the summer indoors! Open windows to let in fresh air, arrange summer flowers, or listen to recordings of birdsong.
Taking Care of Yourself:
The well-being of the caregiver is just as important. Remember:
- Schedule self-care: Caring for someone can be demanding. Don't neglect your own needs. Schedule time for relaxation, hobbies, or even a short break.
- Respite care: KS CASS Care Services can provide temporary support, giving you peace of mind and a well-deserved break.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help: There's no shame in reaching out for support from family, friends, or professional services.
Making Memories this Summer:
Summer is a chance to create lasting memories with your loved one. Here at KS CASS Care Services, we are passionate about supporting families in Nottinghamshire. We offer a range of compassionate care services designed to give your loved one the support they need while allowing you to enjoy quality time together.
Contact KS CASS Care Services today and let's make this summer a scorcher – in the best way possible!
