Elderly people are very susceptible to heat exhaustion. There was a story I read not too long ago about a heat wave in Chicago about 20 years ago that killed about 800 people because of heat exhaustion. Among those were several older people who were in a hospital that didn't have AC.

No backup generator? At the nursing home I just left, they tested the emergency backup once a month. It was used once during a snowstorm. Outlets in red were used so oxygen and other electronics could be used to sustain life. Heat worked but it's an emergency system that is outdated. 70 degrees was too cold for most. CNAs wondered where people would end up if the system failed.
Heat and humidity in Florida with no air-conditioning can be deadly. Lawsuits will begin but the fines could bankrupt the nursing home and insurance company. You think relatives wil be safe when put in a home, but you don't think of asking about emergency backup systems. RIP

It may be a surprise but elderly people routinely die at nursing homes. This was likely a "hospice" level facility. Many may have died in that same time frame during normal circumstances. The heat may have contributed but the article doesn't say it was the cause.

According to the news, the hospital across the road called to offer help but staff said they were fine. People were moving to the parking lots and grassy areas but weren't moved fast enough.
I was at least twenty-five years younger than the folks at my Home but many were ill with dementia. No understanding of emergency situations, fire alarms or heat/cold. There isn't enough staff to safely evacuate. Deaf people can't hear the alarm and no red lights would flash. They say the eight died of the heat but until autopsies are done, its speculation. But, to be offered help and turn it down? If they'd gotten people out sooner, who knows

At least some good news came out of this rather boring hurricane. I am sure at least 4 of them are glad to be dead. Ages 77 to 99 and stuck in some cheap nursing home by their ungrateful and uncaring family! Shame on them!
