I attend activities at a couple senior centers and I know that I must dress warm but even so, seniors are much more likely to be cold than younger people. I constantly hear complaints from the older folks of how cold they are and many are wearing jackets inside the centers. I can understand the need to save on the cost of heating in the winter but running the air conditioning so high in the summer makes me wonder if that is really necessary. Word is that the centers have no control over the temperature. Although there may be a couple who are too warm, the vast majority are too cold. I believe something needs to be done to address this situation. The centers I attend on a regular basis are Millersburg and Herndon.
I read something one time, could be different now, that said germs can't reproduce as efficiently in a cold environment and it is intentionally kept cold in certain environments to help slow the spread of illness. Makes sense to me. Maybe that is their reasoning.
I would much rather try to get warm then be so hot that I was sweating, 1st, you can only get so naked in public and 2nd, a room full of people that are bathed 2xs weekly all sweating it up. Whew. That could be very unpleasant for everyone.
Keep going up the chain of command.
