On Transitional Care: How Weather Affects the Elderly

On Transitional Care: How Weather Affects the Elderly

As we age, we become more sensitive to temperature changes. During the warm season, for example, elderly people are far more prone to heatstroke and other heat-related medical problems. On the other hand, older adults are at a higher risk of hypothermia because their bodies cannot withstand the cold, as compared to younger people. Experts have also pointed out that seniors who have cardiovascular conditions may experience increased side effects in the cold.
 
If you want to protect your elderly loved ones from the possibility of increased health issues caused by weather changes, you may choose to avail of transitional care services.
 
Transitional care covers a wide range of services and environments designed to promote safe transfer and to ensure coordination and continuity of quality care between different locations. High-quality transitional care is especially important for older adults with multiple chronic conditions and complex therapeutic regimens.
 
Here at Carewell Home Care, we provide continuous care with our transitional care services. Just like the snowbirds, we offer state-to-state transfer on different seasons. With our easy transfer process, you can arrange care plans for your senior loved ones so they can enjoy the warm season in Florida away from the icy cold weather of New Jersey during the latter’s cold season. On the other hand, they may also choose to go to New Jersey to enjoy its cool weather and avoid the intense warm weather in Florida during the hot season.
 
Once your elderly loved ones arrive in their residence in New Jersey or Florida, they will receive home care services in Plantation, City in Florida from our certified caregivers according to the pre-arranged care plan. These services may include comfort care, respite care in Florida, companion care, personal care, and others.
