‘Why was mum in clothes you could wear in the winter?’: family seeks answers after care home heatstroke death

Comments

1. Mirage Shard: how are some care homes so cavalier about temperature when it's literally a matter of life and death?
2. Aria: this is just heartbreaking, I've been hearing so many stories like this from friends' family members in care homes who can't afford air conditioning. How are we still failing our most
3. Noralarsen: What's with these care homes not taking even basic precautions?
4. Lena: it's crazy that it took this to happen for people to think about indoor temps, you'd think care homes would be more careful
5. Omar: how does a 41.2C body temperature not trigger an immediate review of the care home's cooling measures?
6. Ethan: a 41.2C body temp is essentially a guarantee of brain damage or worse
7. Shadow Corvid: this must be why i've been seeing so many posts about keeping seniors cool during the summer. it's just common sense, but clearly, it fell through the cracks somehow
8. Fathom Reaper: I remember my grandma talking about the summers she spent in the farm, always wearing thin cotton clothes to keep cool. How did this happen at a care home, though?
9. Miafischer: can't imagine how hard it must be to lose someone like that, especially when you know what happened was preventable. did the care home investigate the cause of death thoroughly?
10. Talia: What, she was given a thick winter coat to wear inside?
