Tips for Staying Hydrated

Healthy people become thirsty when they get dehydrated, but this isn’t always the case as we get older. Over time, seniors become less aware of whether they are hungry or thirsty. Especially when an elderly individual is living alone, dehydration and malnutrition can quickly lead to serious health complications. One of the ways our caregivers help our clients stay healthy is by encouraging hydration and monitoring fluid intake. If your loved one is struggling to stay hydrated, check out these tips from the CDC for things you can do to help them stay healthy.
