Hi there, with all of the recent hot weather (dare I say heat wave) in the UK I just wanted to hear some of your best tips for making sure your elderly relatives are safe in extremely hot weather.
I found a lot of threads about caring for the elderly in really cold weather, and I know there are possibly more risks involved like hypothermia and slipping on ice leading to broken bones. However, dehydration and sun related illnesses also worry me - does anyone else worry about this with their elderly relatives?
I found a few tips online, like this article which https://www.helpline.co.uk/hot-weather- ... r-seniors/ but would love to hear any first-hand, practical tips or worries you might have.
