As we experience a spell of warm weather, Asa Johnson, Service Improvement Manager at Anchor, shares some simple tips to help older people stay safe and comfortable during a heatwave ☀️

Asa’s advice includes:

• Wearing light, suitable clothing, along with a hat and sunglasses outdoors
• Seeking shade and applying sunscreen when spending time outside
• Keeping curtains and blinds closed in rooms exposed to direct sunlight
• Staying hydrated with cold drinks and cool treats such as ice cream, lollies, frozen smoothies or yoghurt
