Aging comes with many body changes, and one of them is the loss of the sense of thirst, making older adults prone to dehydration. Dehydration can result in serious health issues, which is why proper hydration is one of the focuses at a provide of home healthcare in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. Here are how you can start helping yourself or your elderly loved ones be hydrated:

• Remember that there are different sources of fluids
  You or a home care agency in Delaware county can prepare water alternatives like tea, sweetened beverages, fruit juice, and high-water content fruits and vegetables. Talk with the doctor first on which foods or drinks are permitted for them and which aren’t.
• Keep water near
  Try putting a pitcher of water near their favorite area or seat so they can quickly and conveniently take a drink.
• Serve something savory
  A provider of senior care and adult autism services can help you prepare hot soup broth, which you or your senior loved ones may enjoy, instead of beverages with a sweet or neutral taste. Soup broths are your best choice when they prefer hot instead of cold drinks.
• Offer shakes or other options
  You can make homemade popsicles, smoothies, or milkshakes, which a provider of senior care can help you with.
