Hubby wears long trousers. Very reluctant to wear shorts. Actually has a short sleeved shirt on today tho.no jumper!!Dad keeps shutting windows but he did have his shorts on today.
He drinks a lot so dont think.he gets dehydratedThat kind of awareness can often seem absent in dementia. Even in this current heat, residents in the Care Home will put on a heavy cardigan, oblivious to the temperature, or even a coat. Then the observant Carer gently suggests something lighter to wear, or distracts in an appropriate manner. Just as long as there are no real issues (dehydration) then it should not pose a problem.
He does drink a lot but its diet coke! Has one cup of tea first thing then its coke all day. Tried to get him to drink something else but he wontI don't know what is normal with dementia, littlemo69. That went ut the window a long time ago, sorry . I know my OH rarely feels the heat even in this kind of weather, though she looks a bit hot and bothered so I let her sleep under a duvet while I sleep on top on my side. Plenty of fluids, watermelon and whatever else works are still needed whatever she says and I'm sure it is the same for your OH assuming he will drink.
Add water when he isn't looking!He does drink a lot but its diet coke! Has one cup of tea first thing then its coke all day. Tried to get him to drink something else but he wont
Ive just ordered some waterproof covers for his pillows. He sweats so much his pillows can be wet in the morning!That kind of awareness can often seem absent in dementia.
