This toolkit has been designed for staff in care homes and carers in the community. It provides a practical guide to help them assist older people in their care to achieve optimum hydration.
The toolkit has been developed through collaboration between Kent Surrey and Sussex Academic Health Science Network, Wessex AHSN and North East Hampshire and Farnham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
Some of the information included is based on the resources developed for the 'HYDRATE in care homes' project commissioned by North East Hampshire and Farnham CCG in 2014.
We hope the toolkit will inspire all those who read it to promote the importance of good hydration among older people and have the satisfaction of helping the individuals they care for achieve this aim.
