So you reckon it's safer for nonagenarians to pour hot water into the
narrow neck of bottles and take them to bed (where they may leak) than
to turn on an all night under blanket? Have you adjusted for the risks
of scalding which in elderly people can more often prove fatal? And for
the health benefits (even leaving aside quality of life!) of a blanket
which keeps them warm all over all night as opposed to a bottle which
warms a bit of them for a bit?



use a duvet.

where can old people buy duvets which restore thermoregulation or raise
skin temperature above their (low) autonomous levels?


could try argos
