Seniors all over the world are taking a stand—defying the stereotypes that have been placed on them by society. You're too old…you're not social…your mind isn't what it used to be…you're unproductive…you're not creative…your health has declined. The list goes on and on. These stereotypes are actually a part of a larger problem called ageism—the discrimination against individuals or groups of people based on their age.

Your grandma is hot. And she's not the only hot grandma out there. Heat waves all over the country place older individuals - regardless of living situation - in harm’s way each and every summer. In fact, according to a study by Harvard School of Public Health, it only takes an increase of 1.8 degrees to cause a rise in death rates for older adults who have a chronic health condition. This means, even a small increase in temperature can put your loved one in danger. A heat wave is defined as an extended period of excessive heat, most often 10 degrees above average, along with stifling humidity.
