Important Advice For Our Senior Community

Stay Safe and Cool During the Heatwave!

We care about you at Barcroft Medical Centre

Day 1 – Stay Hydrated 

  • Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty. 
  • Avoid alcohol and very sugary drinks.

Day 2 – Keep Your Home Cool 

  • Close curtains or blinds during the day to block direct sunlight. 
  • Open windows when it feels cooler outside (usually in the evening).

Day 3 – Dress Comfortably 

  • Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes made from natural materials like cotton.
  • Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses if going outside.

Day 4 – Avoid Going Out at Peak Times 

  • Try to stay indoors between 11am and 3pm, when it’s hottest.
  • stay in the shade and take your own shade with you.
