The department developed the Residential aged care services heatwave ready resource to help Victorian residential aged care services (RACS) plan and prepare for heatwaves.
The resource provides information on heat health and older people. All residents in RACS are potentially at risk of heat-related health problems because they are usually over 65 years of age and are likely to have a complicating condition (such as a medical condition, a disability, poor mobility or dementia).
