Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

The California Department of Public Health has issued an advisory reminding all healthcare facilities to take extra precautions during the summer season with its potential for fluctuating high temperatures. Long Term Care (LTC) health care facilities are reminded that the elderly and other health compromised individuals are more susceptible to extremes in temperature and dehydration. The advisory recommends that facilities monitor weather predictions for fluctuations in extreme temperatures and take extra precautions to be sure appropriate air conditioning equipment is well maintained and operating effectively. Facilities must have contingency plans in place to deal with either the loss of air conditioning or, in the case when no air conditioning is available, to take measures to ensure patients and residents are free of adverse conditions that may cause heat-related health complications. The advisory recommends that facilities implement various measures to keep residents and clients comfortable during extremely hot weather, such as keeping well hydrated, minimizing physical activities during the hottest parts of the day, avoiding hot foods and heavy meals, and using cool compresses, misting, showers, and baths.
