Beat the Heat: 5 Ways We Keep Seniors Cool and Comfortable in Summer at Boyson Heights Assisted Living

Iowa summers can be hot and humid, but at Boyson Heights Assisted Living, our team takes proactive steps to ensure our tenants stay safe, cool, and comfortable throughout the season.

Here are five ways we help our seniors beat the heat:

1. Air-Conditioned Comfort: Every tenant enjoys a climate-controlled environment, with central air conditioning throughout our apartments and communal areas.

2. Hydration Stations: We offer multiple hydration stations stocked with water, fruit-infused beverages, and electrolyte options to encourage consistent fluid intake.

3. Cool Treats & Light Meals: Our culinary team creates refreshing meals with seasonal fruits, chilled salads, and occasional frozen desserts that are both nutritious and delicious.

4. Safe Outdoor Time: Outdoor activities are scheduled in the early mornings and evenings when temperatures are milder, and shaded areas are always available.

5. Health Monitoring: Staff members are trained to recognize signs of heat-related stress and perform wellness checks more frequently during summer months.

By prioritizing safety and comfort, we help tenants enjoy everything summer has to offer without the risks that come with extreme heat.
