They should have AC but...
1. Remember that elderly people have poor circulation which means in general they won't feel the heat as much.
2. However they still overheat because of fever or reaction to medication ect.
3. You say they were sleeping in there chairs, go to any nursing home AC or not and you'll see they spend a lot of time snoozing, it doesn't take much activity for them to get tired.
In conclusion: It is better for them to have AC so they can be kept at an even temp. for comfort but it's not the worst thing that could happen to them.
