Greetings!
They don't call it the dog days of August without reason! And because the risk of heat related problems increases with age, it is especially important to keep an eye on the seniors you know this month. Be sure to encourage fluids and avoid outdoor strenuous activities during the height of the afternoon. If you suspect overheating, a cool shower, cold cloth at the wrists and neck, and rest can work wonders. We hope you will find the articles in this month's newsletter informative and beneficial. In it we cover new reports and studies and celebrate the lives of seniors. Why not take a moment this month to celebrate the life of a cherished senior in your life as well?
Warm regards,
The Team at Assisting Angels Home Care

The following article takes a look at this trend and ranks cities nationwide on their transit access, giving us a look at what we can expect by 2015.Click here to read more.
