The risk of heat stroke is real and rising. Every year, more seniors are hospitalized, or pass away due to heat-related illness. In fact, heat-related deaths continue to increase across the state.
As we age, our bodies don’t regulate temperature as efficiently, making it easier to overheat. What feels like a “warm day” can quickly turn dangerous.
Here’s how to protect yourself:
Stay Hydrated – Don’t wait until you’re thirsty.
Limit Outdoor Activity – Avoid midday heat and stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible.
Use Cooling Equipment – Personal fans, cooling pads, and portable ACs can help regulate body temp.
If you need mobility equipment or cooling support to stay safe and comfortable at home, AZ MediQuip is here to help.
