[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Letting a senior citizen stay alone in an un-air conditioned house in a head wave is elder abuse. I would tell her to hire a handyman in the future but I would send her to a hotel until she did so. I would not want someone’s death on my conscience no matter how spoiled they were.[/quote] I had a distant relative die of dehydration in her own home during a heat wave. What matters is monitoring. OP's wife can check up by phone, and visits and if she seems disoriented, call 911. On her dime. To be clear, I'm assuming OP's MIL is in the DC area where last weekend it was still non-life threatening to live in a house without A/C for a person who is mobile and can cool themselves down with water and pull down the blinds. My relative fell, couldn't get up again, and passed away in a 45C degree heat wave in southern Europe. Not the same sort of heat at all.[/quote]
