Thermal comfort relates to a condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment. In relation to Recreation and Health: older adults capacity to regulate body temperature decreases as they age and thus with lower metabolic rate they need higher temperatures to feel comfortable. To maintain optimal thermal comfort of residents many health care facilities provide state-of-the-art air conditioning systems to offer the best possible indoor climate.
Thank you Golden carers for all the great ideas. My residents really enjoy the quizzes and some of the craft activities. They especially want "This day in history". I try to make it a morning ritual after the newspaper reading. This month there are so many great ideas for St Patrick's day, many I have printed off to use. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's day. Here is my beautiful cat, she is much more photogenic than me!
