## Resource

Heat waves are hitting record highs, and older adults living alone are in serious danger—especially as nursing homes decline and independence policies push seniors to stay home. With bodies that cool slower, medication side effects, and no one checking in, the risks are mounting. Experts warn this trend leaves vulnerable populations exposed when temperatures soar, forcing a tough balance between autonomy and safety.
