class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t wait for the first heat wave to discover your AC isn&#8217;t working. Schedule a professional inspection early in the season, replace HVAC filters, and test ceiling fans to make sure they&#8217;re running in the correct direction (counterclockwise in summer to push cool air down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For rooms that tend to overheat, consider adding a portable fan or a window unit. During peak afternoon hours, keep blinds and curtains closed to block direct sunlight and reduce indoor temperatures naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a senior in your life doesn&#8217;t have reliable air conditioning, identify local cooling centers, libraries, or community centers in Glenview where they can spend time during extreme heat days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_a_Hydration_Habit_That_Sticks\"><\/span><strong>Build a Hydration Habit That Sticks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dehydration is one of the most underestimated risks for older adults in summer. The challenge? Many seniors don&#8217;t feel thirsty even when their bodies are running low on fluids. Add in medications that act as diuretics, and the risk climbs further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than relying on thirst as a cue, build hydration into the daily routine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place water bottles in visible spots around the home \u2014 the kitchen counter, bedside table, living room<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set phone reminders or use a marked water bottle to track intake throughout the day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorporate water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries, and leafy greens into meals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit caffeine and sugary drinks, which can contribute to fluid loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A consistent hydration routine is one of the simplest ways to prevent dizziness, fatigue, and heat exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/443-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/443-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/443-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/443-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/443.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk_Through_Outdoor_Spaces_with_Fresh_Eyes\"><\/span><strong><\/strong><strong>Walk Through Outdoor Spaces with Fresh Eyes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warmer weather means more time outside \u2014 and more opportunities for slips, trips, and falls. Before summer gets underway, do a thorough walkthrough of all outdoor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cracked or uneven walkways that could catch a foot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/resources\/clearing-away-clutter-spring-cleaning-activities-for-seniors\/\">Garden hoses, tools, or other items<\/a> left in pathways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose or wobbly handrails on steps and ramps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overgrown shrubs or plants that narrow walking paths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdoor lighting that&#8217;s burned out or poorly positioned<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-maintained outdoor space gives seniors the freedom to enjoy fresh air and light <a href=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/special-services\/\">activity without unnecessary risk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_Plan_for_Severe_Weather\"><\/span><strong>Have a Plan for Severe Weather<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer in Glenview can bring more than sunshine. Thunderstorms and power outages are real possibilities, and seniors \u2014 especially those who rely on medical equipment or temperature-controlled medications \u2014 need a plan before severe weather hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put together a basic emergency kit that includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bottled water and nonperishable snacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flashlights and backup batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A printed list of emergency contacts and medical information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A supply of necessary medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portable chargers for phones or medical devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally important: make sure family members and neighbors know how to reach each other if communication becomes difficult.

Some prescriptions lose potency when exposed to high temperatures, while others (including certain blood pressure medications, diuretics, and antihistamines) can increase a senior&#8217;s sensitivity to heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a few minutes to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read storage instructions for all current medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move any medications stored near windows or in warm areas to a cooler location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talk with a pharmacist or physician about heat-related side effects before summer begins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a small step that can prevent a significant problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reduce_Indoor_Fall_Risks\"><\/span><strong>Reduce Indoor Fall Risks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer introduces a specific indoor hazard that&#8217;s easy to overlook: wet floors. Seniors tracking in water after gardening, swimming, or simply washing up can create slippery surfaces near entryways and bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reduce the risk with a few simple adjustments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place non-slip mats at all entry points and in the bathroom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep hallways and common areas free of clutter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure every room has adequate lighting, especially at night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage supportive, non-slip footwear \u2014 even indoors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These small changes support both safety and confidence at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/449-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/449-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/449-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/449-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/449.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Always_Best_Care_of_Glenview_Can_Help\"><\/span><strong><\/strong><strong>How Always Best Care of Glenview Can Help<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer preparation is manageable \u2014 but it&#8217;s a lot easier with support.

Ideally, indoor spaces should be kept between 68\u00b0F and 76\u00b0F during the summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How much water should a senior drink each day in summer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Most older adults should aim for at least 6\u20138 cups (48\u201364 oz) of water per day, though individual needs vary based on health conditions, medications, and activity level. A physician can provide personalized guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What are the early warning signs of heat exhaustion in seniors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Watch for heavy sweating, cool or pale skin, weakness, nausea, dizziness, and a rapid or weak pulse. Heat exhaustion can escalate to heat stroke quickly \u2014 if symptoms appear, move the person to a cool area and seek medical attention promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How can I help a senior who lives alone stay safe during a heat wave?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Check in daily by phone or in person, ensure they have access to a cool environment, and make sure they&#8217;re drinking enough fluids. If possible, arrange for a caregiver or neighbor to visit during peak heat hours. Local cooling centers are also a valuable resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can medications really be affected by summer heat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. Many medications \u2014 including insulin, certain eye drops, and some antibiotics \u2014 can degrade when exposed to temperatures above 77\u00b0F (25\u00b0C). Always store medications according to label instructions and consult a pharmacist if you&#8217;re unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: When should I consider professional in-home care for a senior during summer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: If a senior is living alone, has difficulty managing daily tasks, or has health conditions that make heat particularly risky, professional in-home care can provide meaningful support. A care consultation is a great first step to understanding what level of help makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/450-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/450-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/450-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/450-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/glenview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/07\/450.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_Your_Loved_One_Safe_and_Comfortable_This_Summer\"><\/span><strong><\/strong><strong>Keep Your Loved One Safe and Comfortable This Summer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer should be a time for seniors to enjoy the warmth, sunshine, and moments with family \u2014 not worry about safety risks at home.
