▎In winter the temperature differential can be large and care workers need to be particularly careful when looking after seniors
In Taiwan the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime can trigger cardiovascular disease episodes. When looking after seniors, live-in care workers should make sure they keep warm at all times
Five ways to keep seniors warm
•SLOW : Do not stand up too quickly
•WARM : Always have warm clothes nearby
•GETTING UP : Before getting out of bed seniors should move their arms and legs to aid circulation
•DRESSING : Wrap up to keep warm
•MOVEMENT : After getting out of bed seniors should drink warm water to heat up their body before moving about
