Please provide a fan for your resident if they don’t have one. Drop it off at the
reception desk so we can label it and have maintenance check that it works
Safely before using in the room.
Before you give a resident a drink, be sure to check first with the care team to
ensure they can have regular fluids - prevent choking hazards! Please provide
fluids regularly during your visit.
Please do not leave any food or dairy or other perishable foods in the resident’s room. Food safety hazard!
While visiting help to close curtains to block out direct sunlight, open windows, and keep residents’ rooms doors open to create airflow. Keep it cool!
Visit in the LOWER MAIN RECREATION ROOM, Main floor or in the garden
shade where it is cooler.
Cool face cloths can be applied while you visit to aid in cooling a resident who
is hot. Please ask for some face cloths.
Loose, lightweight clothing should be made available- if the resident is confused you may be asked to remove out of season clothing. Provide a sun hat
and label it with a permanent marker.
Sunscreen is available on the main floor in the wellness room for the residents.
