Senior Summer Safety Guide

Stacy Cool, Safe & Connected this Season

Summer in Florida brings sunshine, warmth, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the season—but it also comes with unique challenges for older adults. From rising temperatures to sudden storms, staying safe and comfortable requires a little extra care. At Providence Living at Maitland, we believe summer should be a time to savor, not stress. That’s why we’ve put together practical tips to help seniors stay cool, connected, and confident all season long

HYDRATION IS KEY: FLORIDA HEAT CAN SNEAK UP ON YOU.

Hydration is part of our daily wellness approach. Residents enjoy easy access to water stations, chef-prepared meals that support fluid intake, and gentle reminders from our care taker.

Build hydration into your routine— don’t wait until you’re thirsty
Use marked water bottles to stay consistent
Watch for signs like fatigue, dizziness, or confusion

SUN SAFETY IS SELF-CARE: PROTECT YOUR SKIN AND YOUR ENERGY.

Our outdoor spaces are designed for comfort with shaded paths and covered patios. We promote sun-safe habits through thoughtfully timed activities, so residents can enjoy fresh air without overexposure.

Limit direct sun during peak hours (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
Wear breathable clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-protective sunglasses
Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen—and reapply often
