Warning Signs of Dehydration
Patients have less water content as they get older, which makes dehydration an even more critical concern. Nursing homes should provide sufficient care to ensure patients have the proper nutrition and hydration. However, facilities can be under-staffed or limit patient monitoring, providing inadequate care.
If you suspect a loved one may be victim to dehydration from neglect, look for these signs:
- Dizziness and weakness
- Dry mouth
- Weight loss
- General lack of energy
- Fainting
