Hot Times Are Coming!
High heat puts even more of a burden on caregivers of loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Higher temperatures can lead to exhaustion, dehydration, and heat stroke, and studies have shown that the risk of death among people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias increases significantly during periods of high heat. Dehydration can also impact the efficacy of medications your loved one takes.
