Summer in Winnipeg brings the small pleasures we look forward to all year. Tea on the porch, time in the garden, a slow walk around the\u00a0neighbourhood, a warm afternoon with family. With a little planning, the older adults we care for can keep enjoying all of it while staying safer and more comfortable when the weather turns hot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the simplest ways to protect an older adult in summer is to pay attention to hydration. As the body ages, it stops\u00a0signalling\u00a0thirst as clearly, and hot, humid days make it easy to lose fluids before anyone notices. In this guide we walk through how to recognize the symptoms of dehydration in seniors, why older adults are more vulnerable in the heat, what to do when warning signs appear, and how a little support at home can make the whole season feel lighter for your family.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
