Our solutions for Medical and Social Establishments

May, 23 2023

Adequate hydration is essential at any age to maintain good health. However, for elderly residents of nursing homes, adequate water intake is especially important. The elderly are more likely to be at risk of dehydration, which can lead to a variety of health problems.

  • Dehydration.
  • Decline in cognitive function.
  • Deterioration in overall health.

But here's the thing, as we age we drink less and less. Why do we do this?

 

There are various reasons:

  • As we age, the sensation of thirst decreases, primarily due to changes in the hypothalamus of the brain. As a result, we often tend to forget to drink and reduce our fluid intake in general.
  • Older people often simply forget to drink.
  • Many limit their fluid intake to avoid having to go to the bathroom at night, which can be particularly difficult for them.
  • Fear of choking on fluids can also be a factor for seniors.

How can we encourage our seniors to drink more?

 

Persuading seniors to drink enough water can be difficult, but there are practical strategies to help them maintain adequate hydration, including:

  • Offer appealing beverages: Offer a variety of unsweetened beverages, such as flavored water, non-caffeinated tea or fruit infusions.
  • Encourage socializing around beverages: Organize social activities around beverage consumption. This can include group tea or coffee times, healthy beverage tastings.
