Please check on your elderly neighbours and family members 🙏
Heat exhaustion can be detrimental to their health 🥺
Ensure they have the following:
✅Fans or air conditioning.
✅Plenty of water.
✅Electrolytes (like hydralyte - unless they have a medical condition where they cannot take it).
✅A safe space, out of the sun, if they are an outdoors person.
✅Are suitably dressed (our elderly may have difficulty regulating their body temperature and may still be wearing cold weather clothing).
Please call 000 immediately if they are showing any heat exhaustion symptoms or are not their normal selves 🙏

It's going to be a hot one this week, so make sure you’re prepared for heatwave conditions.

🏠 Make your home ready. Close blinds and curtains and make sure you have an emergency kit on hand if the power goes out.

🤝 Look out for others who might need help, such as neighbours, the elderly, pregnant, or young children.

⛈️ Monitor the weather, check the forecast and plan your day.

🚗 Don't leave children or pets in parked cars under any circumstances.

📱Know who to call for help if needed.

Did you know vascular dementia is one of the most common forms of dementia?

For people like Mallika, it affects almost every part of daily life. As her condition progress, she leans more on support workers and her daughter, Dharsh, who does everything she can to make her mum feel safe and supported.

Vascular dementia can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms can look similar to Alzheimer’s disease and other brain conditions. Signs and symptoms may include:
👉 Repeating or forgetting things
👉 Difficulty walking or moving
👉 Finding it hard to plan or think

Loved ones might notice changes in behaviour or personality, too.

Right now, there’s still no cure for vascular dementia. But this Christmas, your generosity can help change that.

You can help fund research that improves care, treatments, and prevention, bringing us closer to a future without dementia.

Please leave a gift today. 💙

We would just like to thank the wonderful staff at Gympie ARC and the public for their concern for our client today. It was greatly appreciated 🙏
My girls are trained for and handle all types of medical episodes and their ability to remain calm in any situation is a credit to them 🤗
It was lovely to see that there were other people willing to assist them if they needed help. We don’t expect anyone to assist if anything happens with our clients as that’s what we do, but it’s just nice to see 😊
Again, thank you to all who offered to assist and to the pool staff for being so fabulous and professional. Sometimes it just takes a village ❤️

With the weather only getting hotter in the coming weeks, please ensure your elderly loved ones (and yourself) are staying hydrated and cool 🥵🥵

High blood temperature
Hot, dry, red skin
Rapid pulse

Please call 000 immediately if you are concerned that your loved one may be suffering from heat stroke 🚑🚑
