Elderly Hydration Management

Elderly hydration management involves ensuring older adults maintain adequate fluid intake to support their health. As people age, their sense of thirst can diminish, and they may face health issues that affect hydration, such as medications or chronic illnesses. This can lead to dehydration, which can cause confusion, dizziness, and other serious health problems. Caretakers and family members should encourage regular fluid consumption, monitor signs of dehydration, and provide accessible drinks. Maintaining proper hydration helps improve overall well-being, cognitive function, and physical health in older adults.
