A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society<\/a>\u00a0found that dehydration is associated with an increased risk of falls and hospitalizations among older adults.<\/p>\n

This is certainly something we at Assisting Hands have seen anecdotally with our clients.\u00a0 Dehydration can be difficult to spot because its symptoms in seniors mimic those of other conditions.\u00a0 It has caused a significant number of our clients\u2019 emergency room visits but isn\u2019t difficult to prevent.\u00a0 Signs to watch for include confusion, dizziness, and unusual bowel movements.<\/p>\n

Many seniors, especially those with dementia, often forget to drink regularly.\u00a0 As we anticipate a heat wave in North Metro Denver this weekend, please keep an eye on your loved ones and encourage frequent, small sips of water rather than occasional large amounts.\u00a0 Other things that can help prevent dehydration include eating hydrating snacks like watermelon or gelatin.<\/p>\n

At Assisting Hands, we educate our staff on the importance of hydration and how to recognize the signs of dehydration.\u00a0 We frequently incorporate hydration into our custom care plans, and many of our caregivers have had success in encouraging our clients to stay hydrated.\u00a0 It provides great peace of mind for client families to have eyes and ears in the home, monitoring health and wellbeing.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
