In-Home Care Helps Prevent Dehydration

September 24, 2015

For All of Your Home Care Options in Sugar Land, Texas (281) 201-3700

Dehydration can be risky for anyone, but especially the elderly. Dehydration occurs whenever a person loses more water than they take in. When we have the right amount of fluid in our bodies, we are able to regulate our temperature through sweating. This can help us to maintain a healthy blood pressure and properly eliminate bodily waste. When dehydration occurs, it can cause us to become weak, confused and develop other conditions such as urinary tract infections. Companion care services from BrightStar Care Sugar Land ensure the health and well-being of seniors in their homes, offering home care services that promote balanced nutrition and hydration. The most common symptoms of dehydration include:
  • Confusion
  • Dizziness or headaches
  • Dry mouth
  • Low urine output
  • Low blood pressure
  • Constipation
  • High heart rate
  • Inability to sweat or produce tears
