With temperatures expected to rise above 30°C, please take extra care in the heat 💛
Hot weather can be particularly difficult for older people, those living alone and anyone with underlying health conditions.
A few simple checks can make a big difference:
☀️ Keep curtains closed in rooms that face the sun
💧 Encourage regular drinks throughout the day
🌿 Stay in the shade and avoid going out during the hottest part of the day
👒 Wear light clothing, sunscreen and a hat if going outside
📞 Check in on older neighbours, relatives and loved ones
🏠 Keep an eye on room temperatures, especially where someone sleeps or rests
At Right at Home Leeds East, we know how important these little checks can be. Please look out for yourself and those around you during the hot weather.
If you are worried about your health, or someone else’s, call NHS 111.
