It is very important to be educated on the importance of seniors and hot-weather safety. Too much heat is unsafe for everyone. It is even riskier for those who are over age 65 or who have health problems, as these groups generally do not adjust to major temperature fluctuations as fast as younger people.

Don’t call me morbid because I’ve spent the past few days preparing obituary examples. I’ll be using these for a class of young people to demonstrate a bit of what “legacy” means: something left behind when you are gone.

Yet in that half-decade, our company has grown from a small Canadian startup into a global home care disrupter – engaging more than 200 employees who are committed to helping people live a better quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.
