We are entering the summer months. While we enjoy the sunshine and warm days, heat can become a health risk if not monitored. Our CCAs are encouraged to watch for signs of heat stress and have been given best practices for preventing heat stroke. These included staying hydrated, taking breaks as necessary, using cooling towels provided by the office, and if necessary, during particularly hot periods, doing only those tasks necessary if they are not in air conditioned environments.
We would ask our clients and caregivers to be aware of the risks of heat stress, not only for our workers, but for clients and family's health as well.
Thank you, and enjoy your summer!
