Deadly Heat Threatens Seniors From Coast To Coast

This summer’s sweltering summer temperatures have caused several unnecessary deaths among senior citizens who didn’t take simple, sensible steps to protect themselves – like turning on the air conditioning. Even though heat warnings are being issued across much of the country, seniors often aren’t taking any action. This is why Senior Helpers, a leading local in-home senior care provider, started a new initiative called Senior Helpers’ Heat Watch to look out for local elderly people who are more at-risk and prone to problems stemming from this summer’s record breaking heat.
