HAPPY NATIONAL FRENCH FRY DAY!

Who can say no so a freshly friend, crispy, salted to perfection, french fry? Orignating from Beligium, fries were first just fried potatoes. Over many decades, they've become most popular in the slim shoestring, or wedged form we see today!

Where you like them straight, curly, crinkled, or waffled, no one can deny the joy and satisfaction a fresh basket of fries brings them. Pair with a delicious deli made ketchup, or sprinkle with fresh shaved herbs & cheeses, French Fries are one of Americas favorite go to pairings for burgers, dogs and many more.
What's YOUR favorite style of fries?

If you've ever needed an excuse to get some French Fries, today might be a pretty good one!

As caregivers it is sometimes hard to remember to take care of YOU! Emotional and Physical self care is so important to maintain our overall well-being. To our amazing caregivers, and caregivers around the world, Please make sure to take time for yourself, and show yourself the same love you share with your clients each day 💕

Emotional self-care is essential for caregivers because it helps manage stress, prevent burnout, and maintain overall well-being. Here’s why it’s important and what it entails:

Importance of Emotional Self-Care

🌸Prevents Burnout: Caregiving can be physically and emotionally demanding. Without proper self-care, caregivers are at high risk of burnout, which can lead to physical and mental health issues.
🌸Maintains Mental Health: Caregivers often experience feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression due to the demands of their role. Emotional self-care helps manage these feelings and promotes mental well-being.
🌸Improves Care Quality: When caregivers take care of their emotional health, they are better equipped to provide high-quality care to their loved ones. They are more patient, compassionate, and effective in their caregiving duties.
🌸Enhances Resilience: Emotional self-care builds resilience, enabling caregivers to handle the challenges and pressures of caregiving more effectively.
🌸Balances Responsibilities: It helps caregivers maintain a balance between their caregiving responsibilities and other aspects of their lives, such as work, family, and personal interests.

Emotional self-care is about recognizing the importance of one’s own well-being and taking proactive steps to nurture it. This ensures that caregivers can continue to provide care without compromising their own health and happiness.

Its Hurricane Season! And what better way to prepare, than to ensure you have your copy of your SC Hurricane Guide. This helpful guide lists Evacuation Routes, Tips for if you're staying local, and any emergency services available to you.
We hope for a quiet Hurricane Season in Charleston!

South Carolina Hurricane Guide - South Carolina Emergency Management Division The South Carolina Emergency Management Division is the coordinating agency responsible for the statewide emergency management program.

As we head into July in just a few short days, we also welcome hotter temps and sunnier days. Keep in mind your loved ones who need extra care to stay cool & hydrated this summer! The National Institute on Aging has great resources to detect signs of overexposure to the elements, and how to prevent them altogether! Check out the article on Hot Weather Safety here:

Hot Weather Safety for Older Adults Learn about heat-related illnesses—hyperthermia (e.g., heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and more)—and seek help for symptoms of heat stroke.

Keeping the elderly hydrated during severe heat is crucial for their health and well-being. Here are some tips to help:

1. **Encourage Regular Drinking**: Make sure they drink water regularly, even if they don't feel thirsty. Older adults often have a reduced sense of thirst¹.
2. **Offer Hydrating Foods**: Include foods with high water content in their diet, such as watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges².
3. **Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol**: These can lead to dehydration. Opt for water, herbal teas, or decaffeinated drinks instead³.
4. **Keep Water Accessible**: Always have water within easy reach, especially in areas where they spend most of their time³.
5. **Use Flavor Enhancers**: If plain water is unappealing, try adding a splash of lemon or lime, or offer flavored water options².
6. **Stay Cool**: Ensure they stay in air-conditioned environments as much as possible. If air conditioning isn't available, use fans, cool showers, or damp cloths to help lower body temperature¹.
7. **Dress Appropriately**: Encourage wearing loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing to help stay cool¹.
8. **Monitor for Signs of Dehydration**: Watch for symptoms like dark urine, dry mouth, dizziness, or confusion, and seek medical attention if needed².

Do you have any specific concerns or questions about hydration for the elderly?
