    Keeping Seniors Safe in the Summer Heat

    For the elderly, preparing for bad weather is critically important. Even though you’d probably prefer to just smile and enjoy the spring weather, I urge you to also spend a bit of time thinking ahead and preparing for hot summer days ahead. They’ll be here before we know it! Hot weather was something I always discussed with my geriatric patients and their families.

Will they be safe? With the increasing trend of the elderly choosing to stay home, there is a burgeoning industry exploring ways to make senior safety more wid
