Temperatures are heating up as summer arrives. While many families enjoy the sunshine, it is essential to pay attention to older family members and their health. Senior loved ones can participate in these activities, but keeping cool should be a priority. Seniors are more sensitive to heat, and their bodies have a more challenging time regulating temperature. This makes them more susceptible to dehydration, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke.

We always hear the phrase "use it or lose it" when it comes to aging, including brain activity. Not only will a senior's risk for dementia, memory impairment, and stroke increase with age, but loneliness or isolation can cause physical changes to the brain.
