Unscheduled visits to a number of nursing homes were made today by the Deputy Minister of Social Welfare Ms Marilena Evangelou.
During the visits it was found that all common areas, as well as the rooms of the elderly, had sufficient air conditioning to deal with the high temperatures observed.
On one occasion it was found that the air conditioners in the elderly people's rooms were not turned on when they were in a common area and necessary recommendations were made to turn them on.
The recommendation of the Social Welfare Services of the Ministry of State for Social Welfare to nursing homes to address the conditions of very high temperatures is to keep all air conditioners on throughout the 24-hour period.
Among other things, it is also recommended to eat light food and drink cold water.
