#Ice and #coldwater are summer friends for seniors. Cool showers or baths or use a cold compress on pulse points. Sleep w/cool pack—fill hot water bottle w/water, place in fridge or freezer. Place open container w/ice in front of fan or try putting damp towel over fan.

#SUMMER TIP FOR #CAREGIVERS: Get you and your senior out of the house and soak up other people's #airconditioning. #Malls, #bookstores, #movietheaters, and #restaurants typically keep air conditioning blasting in the summer months - great places to visit on hot days!
