The simple answer here is yes. You should definitely be overly cautious when it comes to seniors and hot weather. As we get older, our bodies lose the ability to adjust to a change in temperature, often resulting in conditions like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Another reason this is common among seniors is because they are more likely to be suffering from a chronic, age-related disorder that alters the body’s typical response to heat.
There are some ways that you can prevent your senior from becoming overheated. Some include staying inside at the hottest times of the day, drinking plenty of fluids, and simply learning the signs and symptoms of heat-related disorders.
