Studies show that dehydration often leads to a decrease in the physical as well as mental health, a decrease in quality of life for the individual resident, and a need for extra and specialized care. Hydration care is often an invisible task, happening in the background of daily routines. However, without consistent strategies and documentation, dehydration may go unnoticed until it's too late.
Dehydration is one of the most common health risks in elderly care - but also one of the hardest to manage. From subtle symptoms to inconsistent intake tracking, it often goes undetected until complications arise.
To support healthcare professionals, we’ve created a practical whitepaper, How to Handle Dehydration as a Healthcare Professional.
Developed with insights from Professor Emeritus Peter Bie, MD, DMSc, the guide offers a clinical yet accessible look at the issue - and helps you understand the symptoms of dehydration and take the first steps toward smarter hydration care.
Inside, you’ll explore:
How to recognize dehydration in vulnerable groups
