Tips for Avoiding Heat-Related Illness

Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. We hope you are all staying in the cool and hydrated. According to a Village Medical article released on 7.10.24, below you can find information on symptoms, cures and ways to avoid this issue. Please see a copy and paste from the article.

Heat cramps, exhaustion, or stroke can occur when the body becomes overheated from high temperatures. Warning signs of heat-related illness include:

• Sweating
• Painful muscle spasms
• Weakness, dizziness or lightheadedness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Low blood pressure

Later signs of heat stroke can be serious and may include chills, confusion, slurred speech, seizures and a body temperature above 104℉. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 or visit the nearest ER.

The best way to prevent heat-related illness is to stay inside in the air conditioning. If you are out playing or working in the sun, make sure to drink plenty of water. You can also cool off by spraying water or placing ice packs on the skin.

A New VA Benefit and how it works

Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. I am so proud to announce that @GoldenHeartScottsdale.com is now approved to offer a New VA Benefit. This is a program that has long been needed. If you are honorably discharged during your enlistment to serve America, you now qualify for home care benefits. This benefit is through Homeward Bound and Tri-west. If you completed your tour while enlisted, you qualify for home care benefits. When it comes to VA Benefits, there has always been a relationship between your finances and receiving any help. This has all changed. Again, if you were honorably discharged and you need assistance with daily activity, you qualify for assistance. All you need is a VA Primary Care Physician or VA Case Worker, and we can get you approved quickly. For more information, please contact Golden Heart Senior Care @GoldenHeartScottsdale.com or 480.341.2227 for more information. Have a safe and happy Summer!!!

Sundowning

According to an article Published by a Place for Mom, the following describes a symptom referred to as sundowning:

Toward the end of the day, you may notice someone with dementia becoming noticeably more irritable, anxious, angry, and irrational. This change in behavior is called sundowning, also known as sundown syndrome or sundowner syndrome, and refers to late-day confusion or delirium. Because it can’t be easily attributed to a definite cause, it’s not considered a disease, but rather a set of symptoms associated with dementia. Sundowning in dementia patients is relatively common, as well. As many as 1 in 5 people with Alzheimer’s will experience sundowning, according to Cleveland Clinic. For more information, please contact us @GoldenHeartScottsdale.com.
