Dehydration and the elderly
With the warm, summer months just around the corner,
this is a good time for a reminder about how important it
is for the elderly to stay well hydrated. Dehydration is the
most common fluid and electrolyte disorder for seniors
in a long-term care setting and for at-risk seniors in the
community. Some problem indicators of dehydration in-
clude: Rapid weight loss, dry or inelastic skin, confusion or
hallucinations, dizziness or light-headedness, sunken eyes,
flushing, rapid pulse, fever, dry mouth, dark urine, and
urinary tract infections.
Water is the best fluid for our bodies to prevent dehydra-
tion. Remember to avoid colas, tea, or alcohol, except as
a treat, since they slow the absorption of water your body
needs. Drink at least three glasses of water a day, and dur-
ing hot weather or exercise, drink four or more glasses a
day.
When visiting someone in a long-term care facility,
check to see if there is cool, fresh water available and within
reach of the residents. Many residents may not realize
how important it is to receive proper hydration, and a little
encouragement from a visitor may make all the difference
for them.
The Ombudsman Program continues to recruit members
from the community to spend at least two hours a week
visiting and advocating for quality of care and life of seniors
living in nursing homes, assisted livings, or residential care
facilities.

A hooded robber burst into a Texas bank and forced
the tellers to load a sack full of cash. On his way out
the door, a brave Texas customer grabbed the hood
and pulled it off revealing the robber’s face.
The robber shot the customer without a moment’s
hesitation. He then looked around the bank and
noticed one of the tellers looking straight at him. The
robber instantly shot him also.
Everyone else, by now very scared, looked intently
down at the floor in silence. The robber yelled, ‘Well,
did anyone else see my face?’
There were a few moments of utter silence in
which everyone was plainly afraid to speak.
Then, one old cowboy tentatively raised his hand,
and while keeping his head down said, ‘My wife got
a pretty good look at you.’
Don’t look Ethyl ...
Phyllis Diller quotes
• My mother-in-law had a pain beneath her left breast.
Turned out to be a trick knee.
• Cleaning your house while your kids are still
growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops
snowing.
