Chuck another Bickford volunteer brought in a puzzle for the residents to do. He always loves to give them a challenge. Joanne's face says it all! This one is certainly going to be fun! #BickfordofClinton

Julie, one of our Bickford volunteers stopped by to bring us popsicles. She is so sweet to treat us! #BickfordofClinton

Our raised gardens and courtyard is looking fantastic. We are starting to pick a few veggies, with many more to come. The courtyard itself is such a relaxing place to sit and visit. #BickfordofClinton

Today was a firecracker hot day, but we still went for a bus ride to check out the sites. Of course on this very hot day Ice cream was needed. Went to DQ for Dilly Bars or an Ice cream cone! #BickfordofClinton

Jeanne from the Clinton Public Library came to do a fun coaster craft with us. They turned out super pretty. #BickfordofClinton

How to beat the heat and humify To help older adults deal with humidity, keep their living space cool and dry. Use an air conditioner or dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air. Make sure they drink plenty of water. High humidity makes the air heavy and can cause dangerous overheating. Control the Home Environment • Use devices: Run a dehumidifier to lower moisture and make breathing easier. Use air conditioning to keep the air cool. • Block the sun: Close window blinds and shades during the hottest part of the day. • Use fans: Turn on fans to move the air around. • Ventilate: Keep the air fresh to stop mold from growing. Clean air filters often. Keep the Body Cool • Dress right: Wear loose, light-colored clothes made of natural fabrics like cotton. • Use cold cloths: Wipe the skin with cool, damp towels or put a cool washcloth on the neck. • Take quick baths: Take a cool—not cold—shower or bath Prevent Dehydration • Drink water often: Offer water, juice, or sports drinks throughout the day. Do not wait until they feel thirsty. • Eat water-rich foods: Serve fresh fruits like watermelon. • Limit certain drinks: Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. Plan Safe Outings • Visit cool places: If the home gets too hot, visit public places with air conditioning. Examples include malls, local libraries, and senior centers. • Watch the time: Do chores or go for walks in the early morning or evening when the air is cooler. #BickfordofClinton #HigherPath
