AUGUST UPDATES
Happy August! We hope you’re enjoying summer so far and staying cool in this heat. If you ever need a place to cool down, come visit us at one of the centers. Enjoy the air conditioning and find something to do. Participate in an activity or help us finish one of our puzzles. If you can’t make it to one of our centers, you can learn other ways to stay safe when it’s too hot on the next page.
Bet Tzedek Legal Services will be stopping by Joslyn Adult Center on August 8. A Bet Tzedek community representative will be on-site to offer educational materials and answer general questions about their services. If you would like to know more about them or interested in legal help, we suggest you attend this presentation.
Tuttle Senior Center has some exciting things happening this month that you don’t want to miss out on. Any artists out there? Tuttle will have a Canvas Painting event with Luis and Alina on August 16. Tuttle will also be providing haircuts by Marissa at no charge. You can learn more about these events and more inside this issue. Many of you have been inquiring about day trips. We are working out all the details and should have more information soon. There are a few open volunteer spots to help with trips. If you are interested, you can talk to Alison at the front desk or call 818.238.5353.
Looking ahead to September, save the date for Thursday, September 28. Rock-a-Hula will be making a return at McCambridge Pool. It was a great time last year. We can’t wait to see you all again this year.
As always, if you have feedback, ideas or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let us know! These are your centers, and we hope to see you soon.

Hot Weather Safety Tips For Older Adults
While summer brings us warmth and bloom, prolonged exposure to excessive heat in summer months can be dangerous. This is especially true for older adults. Every summer, more than 600 Americans die of health problems caused by excessive heat and humidity. Older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions are at high risk of developing heat-related illnesses, because of aging-related physical changes in the body, chronic health conditions, and even effects of taking some medications.
Staying Safe When It’s Too Hot
When the temperature climbs above 80°F, older adults need to be proactive and take precautions to avoid ailments due to excessive heat. Keep in mind the following tips when trying to stay cool.
• Stay away from direct sun exposure as much as possible. If possible, plan your outdoor activities either early in the morning or when the sun starts to set.
• Air conditioning is your friend in summer. Spend as much time as possible in air-conditioned spaces. If you don’t have an air conditioner, go somewhere that is air-conditioned. For example, read a book at the library, walk around in indoor malls, watch that new movie at the theater, or meet your friends at the senior center. (Note: The federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps adults 65 and older who have limited incomes cover the cost of air conditioners and utility bills. To reach your state’s LIHEAP program, call 1-866-674-6327.)
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of cool water, clear juices, and other liquids that don’t contain alcohol or caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine cause you to lose water in your body by making you urinate more.
• Dress appropriately. Whenever you can, try wearing loose, light-colored clothes. Avoid dark-colored clothes as they may absorb heat. Top it off with a lightweight, broad-brimmed hat and you are dressing like a pro! These simple changes will help you both stay cool and avoid sunburn.
• Did someone say sunburn? Buy a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion or spray with sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Apply the sunscreen liberally to all exposed skin. Also, bugs are abundant in summer, so spray insect repellent when going outdoors.
• Cool down! Take tepid (not too cold or too hot) showers, baths, or sponge baths when you’re feeling warm. Don’t have the time? Then wet washcloths or towels with cool water and put them on your wrists, ankles, armpits, and neck.
