Still Hopes has created a new page on its website that contains questions and concerns for those who are looking at a retirement community as a new phase in their life. The Decision Page provides two perspectives: from a potential residents view and that of someone looking on behalf of a relative or friend.

One of the normal effects of growing older is the body’s lessened ability to cool itself in hot summer temperatures. The best defense against the heat of summer is to drink plenty of fluids. Symptoms of hyperthermia or heatstroke include
• Lack of energy
• Lack of appetite
• Dizziness
• Muscle cramps
• Diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
• Excessive weakness
• Breathing problems
• Dry skin with no perspiration
• Chest pain
To help someone who may be experiencing heatstroke
• Loosen clothing
• Elevate the head above the body
• Drink cool water or eat ice chips
• Bathe the head and body in cool water
• Seek medical assistance
To learn more about heatroke or how Solutions for Living at Home can help you stay cool this summer, call 803.223-6172.

Wellness According to the Soul of the Community Study: social offerings (fun places to gather), openness (how welcoming a place is) and basic services (community infrastructure) are the most important factors in emotionally connecting metro-Columbia residents to where they live.
The rich lifestyle, relaxed pace and temperate climate make Columbia a leading U.S. retirement destination. In 2009, the city was named one of Money Magazine’s “25 Best Places to Retire” and was one of U.S. News Group’s 10 “Best Affordable Places to Retire.” And for the sixth consecutive year, Still Hopes received Columbia Metropolitan Magazine’s “Best Of” Award for Active Adult/Retirement Communities.
Schedule a tour today and see for yourself why the Columbia area continues to be the best place to retire in the south! 803-739-5040 or visit the Still Hopes website.
