Hi all. Just wondering those of you who have loved ones in care homes, what your experience is of air conditioning.
All care homes I have been into, old and new, never have any air conditioning even in the communal rooms.
I know there are many arguments ~we don't get hot weather that often, air conditioning can be aggressive etc. but on what is about to be the hottest day of the year in 2016 I am dreading going to see my Dad today as the home will be stifling. The main lounge is situated in full sunlight (do they not use a compass when they build care homes) coupled with the fact that they never shut the heating off makes for situation like keeping dogs locked up in hot cars.
Just wondering what experience others have had or am I just getting on my high horse again.
