Are You Wearing SPF?
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and occurs when skin cells grow abnormally, often due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, with melanoma being the most serious. Skin cancer can appear as a new growth, a sore that does not heal, or changes in an existing mole. While it can affect anyone, the risk increases with frequent sun exposure and sunburns. Protecting the skin with SPF clothing, shade, and natural sunscreen and recognizing early warning signs can help.

Summer Heat Safety Matters
Summer heat can be especially dangerous for seniors. High temperatures increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, making it important to stay cool, drink plenty of water, and limit outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day. For many older adults, moving into a retirement suite with supportive services can provide added peace of mind. Nutritious meals and regular wellness checks help residents stay comfortable and safe during heat waves. Retirement living offers the perfect balance of independence, comfort, and support when it is needed most.
