Sun Exposure for Aged Care Facilities

The recommended daily sun exposure for older adults depends on age, skin type, and health conditions. In general, at least 15 minutes of sunlight per day helps the body produce essential vitamin D.

However, prolonged sun exposure increases the risk of skin damage and skin cancer. To stay safe, older adults should limit direct sun exposure, especially during peak UV hours. Consulting a doctor can help determine individual sun exposure needs for optimal health.

Why Retractable Shade Sails are Ideal for Aged Care Facilities
