Palm Springs Seniors Endure Power Outage

In Palm Springs, residents of Parkview Mobile Estates have been without electricity for over a week.
The senior community is facing sweltering triple-digit temperatures with no relief in sight.
Today marks the eighth day without power, raising serious health concerns.
Resident Rick Matzgar says the outage has lasted longer than previous ones.
He bought a generator to keep his refrigerator running.
But he worries about neighbors who rely on medical equipment.
Park management offered hotel reimbursements—but many residents face mobility and transportation issues.
Rick says the option isn’t realistic for everyone.
The heat is especially dangerous for seniors with underlying health conditions.
We contacted the management company, but they declined to comment.
No official timeline has been given for power restoration.
Residents fear this could continue into the hottest months of summer
