As temperatures continue to soar in San Diego, it's important for caregivers to keep a close eye on those who are more vulnerable in the heat, including seniors. "These are important people in the community, they're important in our lives. It's somebody's father, it's somebody's mother, someone's spouse, and every family member's number one priority is keeping their loved ones safe," said Chris Schneider, Director of Communications for Alzheimer's Foundation of America. Schneider said the elderly, particularly those living with Alzheimer's or dementia are at even greater risk during this heatwave. "For someone living with dementia, because of the way it impacts the brain, [it makes them] more susceptible to things like heat stroke and dehydration," he said. "That's why caregivers need to be proactive and have a plan."
