More blankets. The thermostat is ALWAYS set at 76...too hot for me, but she complains she’s cold. I got her an electric throw blanket, but as per usual she won’t use it. She can stay comfy in her bed and sleep. If she really is freezing my sister will let me know. I’ll turn on a space heater when I get up and it will take the chill off. Then I’ll turn it off when I leave for work.

Last year when the boiler went out she chose to use her heating pad. Whatever works for her.

Hope they get the thermostat fixed at Aunt Clara’s place.

Whew, it would be too hot for me too. At her age, 76 degrees is probably comfortable for her.
If she’s comfy enough with extra blankets, you shouldn’t have to worry while you’re at work ...... provided the boiler behaves itself.

They’d BETTER get that thermostat in Aunt Clara’s room fixed once and for all. As much as they charge for her to be there, they can replace it. The handyman doesn’t work on weekends and this is twice it’s gone out late Fri. night or on Sat. No excuse for her to be sitting in a chilly room. Her blood flow is bad and she gets cold very easily. I got cool enough while visiting today that I put my jacket back on. That’s too cold for a 100 year old person.
