Older adults lose the ability to regulate body temperature efficiently. Many seniors don’t feel cold until their body temperature drops to unsafe levels. At White Dove Health Agency, we often see cold-related concerns develop inside the home, not outdoors. Signs of Hypothermia in Seniors
- Confusion or unusual behavior
- Weakness or extreme fatigue
- Cold hands and feet
- Slurred speech
Hypothermia is a medical emergency and can be life-threatening.
How Home Care Protects Seniors from Cold Exposure
White Dove caregivers ensure:
- Proper indoor temperature
