Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

The California Department of Health has issued an All Facilities Letter to healthcare facilities, including nursing homes, reminding them of the importance of maintaining appropriate air conditioning and taking extra precautions during hot summer weather. The letter emphasizes that elderly and health-compromised individuals are more susceptible to extreme temperatures and dehydration. Facilities must have contingency plans in place to deal with loss of air conditioning or to ensure patients are free of heat-related health complications. Recommendations include dressing in lightweight clothing, staying hydrated, minimizing physical activity during hot parts of the day, and using fans and cool compresses. Staff should be alert to changes in patient conditions that may be heat-related and pay special attention to patients on medications that make them susceptible to high temperatures. Facilities must report any emergency or disaster-related occurrences to the Department of Public Health.
