As temperatures soar, care homes in Germany implement strategies to keep elderly residents cool and hydrated.

In Bonn, the Herz-Jesu-Kloster care home provides ice treats, cold drinks, and ventilation to its residents, ensuring they stay comfortable despite the heat.

In Bielefeld, a heat action plan pairs volunteers with seniors living independently, while care homes like St. Barbara in Duisburg prepare to install air conditioning to combat extreme temperatures.
