Illinois is dealing with a serious heat stretch right now and this isn't just "stay hydrated" weather, it's take-it-seriously weather, especially for seniors.
๐ก๏ธ Limit time outside between 11amโ4pm when the heat peaks
๐ง Drink water regularly, even without feeling thirsty
๐ช If home AC is unreliable, a cooling center or air-conditioned errand run can make a real difference
๐ง Watch for warning signs: dizziness, confusion, or nausea mean it's time to get inside and cool down fast
If getting somewhere cooler, or to an appointment is the tricky part today, that's what we're here for.
