While Givens Great Laurels has the advantage of being in the cool mountains in Waynesville, there could be moments outdoors this summer that are hot.

Older adults are more likely to experience heat-related health issues, making it especially important to get relief quickly when overheated.

The National Institute on Aging advises:
– Get into a cool, ideally air-conditioned place.
– Drink plenty of fluids but avoid alcohol and caffeine.
– Shower, bathe, or sponge off with cool water.
– Lie down and rest.
