Water is essential. That’s given. But it becomes even more crucial when we get older. Dehydration in seniors can often lead to fatigue, confusion, and even serious health complications.

But the good news is with a few simple habits, dehydration is totally preventable.

So grab a glass of water, settle in, and let’s explore how staying hydrated can help you feel your best as a senior!

What Is Dehydration And Why Should It Matter To Seniors?

Dehydration is simply the body losing more fluids than it’s taking in. Water is important for nearly everything your body does. Starting with regulating temperature, keeping your joints moving quite conveniently, aiding digestion, supporting brain function, and even helps you think more clearly.

When we age, our bodies are unable to hold onto water as well. Our “I’m thirsty” signal starts to wane. We may not realize we’re dehydrated until our bodies start sounding…the alarm.

Why Are Seniors More at Risk of Dehydration?

Let’s explore some signs of dehydration in seniors:

1. Slower Thirst Response

As we age, we don’t always feel thirsty, even when our bodies really need a drink.

2. Mobility Challenges

When getting up and grabbing a glass of water is a hurdle, water intake becomes automatically lowered. And hydration, unfortunately, takes a back seat. 

3. Health Conditions

Chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease can cause fluid loss even more than the average person. This often happens without you even realizing it.

4. Medications

Certain blood pressure medications can cause increased urination, leading to increased water loss.

5. Flu, Fevers, & Fluid Fights

If you’re down with the flu, have a fever, or are dealing with vomiting or diarrhea, your body swiftly loses a lot of fluids. It can be a bit more challenging to keep up with water intake as you may be experiencing corresponding loss of appetite, etc.

6. Heat

While bright, sunny days may elevate your spirits, they also increase sweat and fluid loss, even if you’re just resting outside.

14 Common Signs & Symptoms of Dehydration in Seniors

To understand whether your loved one is dehydrated or not, keep an eye out for these 14 common signs:

1. Dry mouth or cracked lips
2. Dry skin
3. Dark-colored and strong-smelling urine 
4. Less frequent urination
5. Headaches
6. Dizziness or lightheadedness
7. Muscle cramps
8. Fatigue
9. Trouble walking or balancing
10. Confusion or memory lapses
11. Fast heart rate
12. Fainting
13. Vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours
14. Black or bloody stool
    

Look out for these 14 signs but pay extra attention to the last six. These could be signs of severe dehydration that need immediate medical attention. If you notice any of them, don’t wait for a moment, contact your doctor right away.

How Dehydration Affects Blood Pressure

Here’s something many people may not know but it’s very important to be aware that dehydration messes with blood pressure.

When we’re low on fluids, our blood volume drops. This can lead to low blood pressure, making us feel dizzy, tired, or weak. Furthermore, studies have shown that staying dehydrated for too long can worsen hypertension.

That’s because when our body senses too much sodium, our brain tells the pituitary gland to release a hormone called vasopressin. This hormone tells our kidneys to hold on to more water, making things even more complicated for your blood pressure.

So whether it’s high or low, staying hydrated helps keep your blood pressure in check.

4 Hidden Dangers of Dehydration

Long-term dehydration can catch up on you and cause problems such as

1. Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
   
2. Kidney stones or kidney damage
   
3. Seizures from electrolyte imbalances
   
4. Hypovolemic shock (a dangerous drop in blood volume)

Sounds intimidating? Don’t worry. They are avoidable with good hydration habits. Read on to learn what you can do to be healthily hydrated.

7 Easy, Everyday Tips to Help Seniors Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated doesn’t have to be a chore. In case you are wondering what is the fastest way to cure dehydration, here are some fun and easy ways to sneak more water into your day:

1. Drink Water Regularly!

Yes, yes, it’s obvious, we know. But it’s easy to forget. Maintain a routine, set phone reminders, keep a checklist if it helps. Make hydration part of your everyday habit.

2. Jazz Up Your Drinks

Are you bored of drinking plain water everyday? It’s definitely not your thing, huh?

Well, in that case, give your glass of water a little twist! Add lemon, lime, cucumber, or mint for a burst of freshness. Flavoured sparkling water, low-sugar juice, or even milk can mix things up (just watch out for the sugar!).

3. Eat Your Water

Yes, you read it right. You can also eat your water. Fruits like watermelon, strawberries, and oranges, along with veggies such as cucumbers and celery, are packed with water. Even low-sodium soups count.

Both hydrating and delicious?

It’s a win-win then!

4. Plan Ahead for Hot Days

If it’s sunny, humid, or you’re heading out for a walk, up your water game. Drink more water on such days to balance your dehydrating effects.The same goes for days when you’re sick or feeling under the weather.

5. Keep It Within Reach

As the old saying goes – out of sight, out of mind. Always keep a water bottle or glass handy wherever you spend time. Be it on the couch, at your desk, or by the bed.

6. Small Sips Add Up

You may not be a fan of chugging water. And that’s okay. Frequent small sips throughout the day are just as effective. Maybe even better.

7. Cheers!

Make it a habit to drink a glass of water with every mealtime and activity. Easy, right?

The Way Verve Senior Living Prioritizes Hydration

Our Living Loving Local  culinary program offers fresh, delicious, and hydrating meals that support overall wellness. We also ensure water and other drinks are always on the reach. Even our staff here are trained to observe any signs of dehydration, so we can take action early. At Verve Senior Living, hydration means health. And we’re here to make it simple, enjoyable, and part of your everyday life.

Bottom Line: Drink Up and Feel Better!

While hydration might not be the most fun topic, it’s one of the easiest ways to feel better, stay sharp, and support your body as you age.

Dehydration in seniors is common but very easily preventable. All you need is…just a little awareness and some minimal changes in your daily habits. In this way, you can keep yourself or your loved ones healthy, happy, and of course, hydrated.

So, raise that glass and cheers to healthy living!

We do it naturally: Plan for that next big vacation. Get excited for a special occasion or holiday. Put all our energy into our next meeting with friends. But what about the everyday? Our routines that carry us through and have the ability to infuse the moments in between the big events with joy. They don’t all have to bring you immense happiness to evoke satisfaction and contentment—the joy of simply being alive and all that it encompasses can be far more impactful, sometimes.

1.    Be Present.

Being present is beyond being physically in a space. It’s about your mind and senses feeling engaged with the moment. Instead of texting—call your friend or family member; it’ll allow you to be 100% engaged with the conversation instead of getting it in while doing another task. Prepare dinner from scratch rather than throwing a frozen make-ahead into the microwave. Mixing ingredients together enforces mindfulness and has the added benefit of being healthier for you than what comes from the grocery store freezer section!

2.    An Attitude of Gratitude.

Channeling all those good vibes can improve your overall health, from strengthening your immune system to reducing stress levels for better sleep, which reduces irritability and improves your capacity for patience and acceptance; it’s a cyclical effect that keeps on giving! Thank someone for something routine they do for you, compliment a stranger, notice something in nature—all of these things can add up! See our tips for practicing daily gratitude for the benefit of health and wellbeing.

3.    Greet your day a little earlier.

Whether it’s 15 minutes or a half-hour, resist hitting snooze and fight the initial grogginess to greet the day with calm and time to savor that morning cup of coffee before your regular routine starts. Stretch, journal, meditate— whatever feels good. This time is your time, and will help immensely with getting you in the right headspace before anyone has a chance to affect your mood.

4.    Reconnect with your childhood.

You don’t have to break out the Lego for this one. What we mean is, try to take a simplified, carefree approach to tasks. Have to weed the garden? Don’t be afraid to get a little dirty! Feel the ground; really be present in the task. Approaching tasks and situations with curiosity and openness can be a solid step towards discovering new favourite hobbies, making friends, and enjoying a whole new world.

5.    Don’t put off to later what you really want to do now.

Sure, the To Do list is a mile long, but taking ten minutes to sit down with a book—or whatever small activity that brings you joy—provides a mindful rest that brings you into the moment and can even provide clarity for when you move into your next pursuit.

It all sounds simple enough, but can be much more difficult when put into practice. A lifetime of rushing and deadlines and time obsession is hard to shake. A tool that can help with that is meditation. Just five minutes a day can go a long way!

Keep in mind: Just because things don’t always turn out the way we planned, doesn’t mean they don’t have their own benefits. Pause to reflect (there’s that whole “Being Present” thing again!) and you might just discover a wonderful outcome you never even expected.

Slow down, enjoy each part of your day for what it is, rather than always looking ahead to the next thing. Simply living is a joy and a privilege.

A life well lived includes many things and varies from person to person. Other than water, regular exercise, and a handful of other needs across the board, what brings us joy changes with the seasons, from one stage of life to the next, and differs between us and our loved ones. Some people enjoy playing golf while others prefer a great crib hand. Some enjoy big parties while others prefer quiet evenings with a few chosen friends. Whatever the scenario, they all include being social to varying degrees and offer several benefits for seniors especially.

Making new connections, as well as connecting with those you love and the community around you is just as important to healthy living as eating the right foods for healthy aging. From staving off loneliness that leads to depression, to physiological benefits, being social is good for the heart, mind and body.

Positive Mental Health

A positive outlook isn’t just about being happy all the time. It’s grounded in a practical approach to the day that inspires and energizes one to live well by making healthful choices. Socially active seniors have an easier time beating stress because they have a community to support them through the rough times; talking things through with a friend is a therapeutic way of managing the unexpected twists and turns of life. Being social, even if it’s just a weekly coffee with a friend or regularly scheduled phone call can give one something to look forward to and become a healthy regular habit.

Physiological Benefits of Being Social

Socializing can boost the immune system and lower blood pressure—but how?! Well, those happy, warm feelings you get when laughing with a good friend is a rush of endorphins. Those endorphins in turn help energize you, and you might feel more inclined to make healthier choices from what you eat to how you spend your time…exercising! Socializing can even help lower your risk of dementia by stimulating your cognitive functioning and therefore boost brain health.

Ways to be social for seniors

1.    Join one of Verve Senior Living’s many signature Life Enrichment programs, from fitness classes to games’ nights and book clubs, and discover new friends with similar interests. You might just discover something new about yourself, too!

2.    Consider adopting a pet. There are so many added benefits, like lower blood pressure and physical activity, but having a pet provides a great catalyst for social interaction.

3.    Take it one step at a time. No one is expecting you to be life of the party right away. Give yourself a little grace! Say hello or even just smile next time you see your neighbour. Then the next time, ask how their day is going. As nervous as you are, they might be feeling the exact same way.

Need a few extra tips? Brush up on our effective and easy tips for seniors to make friends and then consider putting one or all into play. We want you to be socially connected at Verve, which is all part of our mission to help you achieve vibrant living through feeling supported, connected and engaged.

Having a regular, daily routine has multiple overall health benefits that range from physical care to maintaining cognitive function and keeping spirits up. With aging comes loss of physical abilities and independence, as well as cognitive decline and the loss of loved ones. The days tend to either fly by or crawl, and in their unpredictability cause stress, fear, loneliness and sadness. A regular daily routine can help return structure to the day, while boosting the mind, body and spirit.

Here are your 10 Daily Habits to incorporate into a regular routine:

1. Set goals.

Even if it’s one simple thing like “I will smile at someone today”, or “I’ll finally change the batteries in the remote today”, accomplishing just one thing a day can increase satisfaction and self-confidence. By having one task, you’ve infused your day with purpose and motivation.

2. Think of the positive.

Which for some people, might be the goal. It might be a happy travel memory, or focusing on something simple in the present like how delicious breakfast is. There’s always at least one – probably 10 – good things that happen every day if you really think about it.

3. Practicing daily gratitude is a part of thinking positive, but takes it one step further. Incorporate giving gratitude for 3-5 things that happened during the day that worked out, were wonderful, or even weren’t but still held value. Before you know it, the list will grow and you’ll start noticing the good in more than the negative.

4. Start the day with a healthy breakfast that gives your body energy and soul a boost. Verve dining is centered around this Living Loving Local philosophy with its chef-inspired dining that focuses on nutrition and great taste.

5. Moderate exercise.

Stretching, yoga, walking, Verve fitness programs! Maintain mobility, loosen stiff joints, relieve aches with any of these moderate daily exercises. Consider lifting water bottles if you don’t have light weights and invest in a resistance band to keep up a minimum muscle mass.

6. Socialize.

From a simple phone call or text to a friend, to an organized community activity, socializing a little every day is a proven way to boost your mood and maintain cognitive functioning. Plus it’s fun!

7. A good sleep routine promotes healthy sleep patterns for quality, 7-8 hours of sleep. Enforcing a regular nightly routine that includes no screentime before bed, a dark room, and preparing the body for sleep can help improve your sleep quality. Sleep routine to promote good sleep (Dark, no screens, prep the body for quality 7-8 hrs sleep)

8. Personal hygiene.

Both morning and night, regular teeth brushing and washing helps prep the body for day or sleep, while maintain your health. 

9. Challenge cognitive abilities.

Daily reading, word or number puzzles after breakfast or as an afternoon activity will help keep the mind sharp! Even learning to play an instrument or taking dance lessons helps challenge the brain to think in new ways.

10. Don’t underestimate the great outdoors.

Nothing beats five minutes in fresh air, absorbing the beauty of nature to calm the spirit and boost the mood.

Start by making a list of YOUR favourite activities and incorporate a few of them daily to tailor your routine to something you’ll happily maintain for years to come.

Living with Alzheimer’s or dementia is challenging. Keeping your older loved one feeling secure, happy, and above all safe, becomes top priority as they start to have trouble remembering, processing, and reasoning.

Simply thinking about a routine daily task can be overwhelming. By introducing a few simple measures into your home, you can help boost their independence while reducing frustration, stress, anxiety — for them, and for you, as you learn to navigate this new challenge.

6 Simple steps to make your home dementia-friendly

     1. Lock the door

Wandering is a common activity for those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Deadbolts, child locks (like the toddler knob-covers), alarms, and even disguising the door to look like an extension of the wall can all help in preventing your senior loved one from inadvertently trying to escape.

     2. Clear out the clutter

Removing distracting piles, clutter and items that aren’t necessary can help those living with dementia focus on exactly what they need.

     3. Simple signage

Putting up simple “Food” or “Bed” signs with one-word or picture indicators can be helpful. In places like the bathroom and kitchen, labeling faucet handles with “hot” and “cold” is a great way to make those rooms extra functional. Consider adding decals or other decorations on large windows or glass doors, as these can be difficult to see for those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

     4. Use contrasting colours

While painting the bathroom door a different colour is helpful, having a toilet seat that stands out is a great way as well to help make this task easier for those with dementia. Same goes for the kitchen. A bright plate on the plain table will highlight the food and because they’re clearly able to see the food on a bright, un-patterned plate, they’ll have an easier time eating it independently.

      5. Support along the way

Installing handrails in stairways, adding no-slip strips to stairs, lighting the halls, and a gentle reminder to not carry anything while they’re walking can all help aid balance and minimize falls.

      6. Out of sight, out of mind

As much as you want to draw attention to certain items and places, hiding the things you don’t want them to use – like knives, pet food, etc. – can help as well.

Some companies make adaptive dining and personal hygiene products to make these daily tasks easier on those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s Disease.

A few don’ts

• Close the doors to any rooms you don’t want attention drawn to.
• Using colourful patterns can be disorientating and will create visual confusion.
• Avoid reflective surfaces and overly bright lights. Keeping things muted and even will help those living with dementia from feeling overwhelmed.
• Don’t use area rugs, these pretty accents clutter a space and can inadvertently cause tripping.

Unsure if the above is really necessary yet for your senior loved one? Understanding the signs and symptoms of dementia is the first step. Your local Alzheimer’s Association is always available to offer additional tools and resources. Selected Verve Senior Living residences may offer respite stays to give those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as their caregivers, a welcome break with peace of mind that your senior loved one is well-cared for by a trained, loving support team.

We might not even think about the stresses that could face us as seniors, after all, this is our time to reap the rewards of a lifetime and just relax…right? But the sad fact is, we face stressful situations no matter our age. Sure the stressors may change: Instead of worrying about work and kids, we worry about health, increasing loss of independence, and the loss of loved ones. The way we mentally, and therefore physically deal with those stressors, can have a huge impact on our overall health.

“It has been verified through scientific exploration that more than 80 percent of all diseases are due to stress and strain that originate in the mind and reflect on the body.” – American Medical Association

As our body naturally reacts to stress, it goes into a “fight or flight” response, which over time, leads to high blood pressure, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, diabetes, headaches, anxiety & depression, and a weakened immune system. Symptoms to watch for include:

• Increased heart rate and pulse
• Rapid breathing
• Digestive system upsets
• Lack of sleep

Proper stress management includes a healthy balance of the following four lifestyle factors:

1. Mindfulness

Distractions and instant gratification techniques only go so far and will not help to assuage the root cause of your stress. Taking mindful moments in your day for proper reflection can feel uncomfortable, but will help you to work through the issue in the long-run. Writing things down in a stream of consciousness way can help you to identify why you’re feeling stressed, and even help to start problem-solving solutions. Talking things through with a friend or counselor is another way. Practicing daily gratitude is a wonderful way to end the day and show you that while there may be some aspects of life that aren’t perfect, there’s still a lot that is. Enjoy the small moments, and watch how they add up.

2. Exercise

Daily exercise is one of the best ways to reduce chronic stress, doing both the mind and body good. Regular aerobic exercise can help improve cognitive health, reduce blood pressure, relieve the physical effects of stress, and help release endorphins to combat stress hormones. Tending to your physical health will also help your body stay in shape and mind shape to maintain independence longer. One wonderful routine exercise is yoga to boost physical and mental health.

3. Community

Maintaining friendships can get trickier as we age, but is also an important factor in self-confidence, cognitive functioning, and overall wellness. Try our 5 effective and easy tips for seniors to make friends, or learn more about Verve’s Life Enrichment programs specially designed to boost community, like our expressive art therapy and why it’s therapeutic. There are also benefits to owning a pet as a senior, such as socialization and companionship.

4. Healthy Eating

Verve Senior Living is dedicated to delivering chef-inspired dining to all of its residents, based on our Living Loving Local philosophy that is focused on fresh, local ingredients that are packed with nutritional benefits. Why? Because we believe that healthy eating is paramount to not only boosting physical wellness, but the mind and soul benefits from the experience and energy.

If you’re feeling irritable, indigestion, heart palpitations, having trouble sleeping or tension headaches, excessively indecisive, and feeling a general malaise, please speak with your health care professional as these are all symptoms of stress that shouldn’t be ignored. Always remember: you’re not alone. Help is available.

Knowledge is power, and obtaining knowledge about dementia at any stage, particularly during the early stages, can make it all the more powerful.  In the case of early detection, it can mean early intervention and early protection. Getting an early diagnosis can help individuals and families to be proactive and gain more control over their lives.

Many are often afraid of what the doctor may discover if they do go for a check up, however delaying the investigation may actually make matters worse. As we already are aware, there are some types of dementia’s that are treatable; in fact, reversible. Obtaining a proper diagnosis will help to properly deal with the situation.  Knowing can also assist with:

• Gaining insight and education on the condition
• Exploring treatment options
• Creating plans for the future
• Developing support networks

Although receiving a diagnosis of dementia can be difficult, many individuals and families experience relief of knowing the reason for the symptoms they are experiencing.

The Most Commonly Observed Signs/Symptoms of Dementia

Below is a list of the most common symptoms that are often exhibited in earlier stages.

Changes in Memory

“Normal” is when a person temporarily forgets where they placed their keys or cell phone for a few minutes. However, if someone frequently misplaces things and this becomes a daily occurrence, then this is something we should pay attention to. Other examples include repeating questions or regularly forgetting to take medications.

Changes in Thinking

Disorientation and/or not knowing how to go to a place one is familiar with; inability to perform a routine they normally do; or having difficulties recalling the day of the week are all examples of changes in one’s thinking abilities. An example is when a person is trying to make their yummy apple pie but are having difficulties with following the steps involved.

Changes in Judgment

Saying or doing things that are inappropriate in public or to a random person or making decisions or taking actions that can put themselves, or another, in harm’s way. For example, trying to stand on a chair that has wheels in order to reach for something.

Changes in Communication

Changes in communication abilities can range for each person. Some people may have difficulties not recognizing words or using words in a conversation that don’t fit or make sense. For example, using the word “kitchen” when what the person is actually trying to say is that they are hungry. There could also be difficulties with comprehending the words spoken to them.

Changes in Personality

Mood swings or showing extreme emotions or exhibiting attitude and behaviours not normally characteristic of the person is common. For example, when a person used to be very patient with others but is now very impatient.

Any combination of the above are important signs/symptoms of dementia that we should not ignore nor delay in seeking medical attention. Early diagnosis and “treatment”/”management” is still the best way that both care-giver and care-receiver can maintain optimum quality of life.

If you suspect that you or someone you care about is exhibiting symptoms of dementia, start by speaking with a family doctor. You can also seek education and support from organizations like the Alzheimer Society of B.C., Family Caregivers of B.C. or even smaller personalized businesses like Dementia Solutions. There is help available. You do not have to journey alone.

Karen Tyrell CPCA, CDCP is a Dementia Consultant, Educator, Author & Advocate, and Founder of Personalized Dementia Solutions Inc. (www.DementiaSolutions.ca). Karen offers her expertise on dementia care through speaking engagements, workshops, support groups and by working one-on-one with families and caregivers to provide emotional support and practical solutions.

Navigating retirement residence living can feel daunting at first. What level of support is required, and when? Where is the best place to live that will have all of the requirements for your or your loved one’s physical and mental wellbeing?

Understanding the difference between the levels of care available is the first step towards selecting what’s right for you or your loved one’s needs.

Independent Living

This “entry level” of care is a great way for seniors to dip their toe into retirement residence living. It provides a ready-made social environment that fosters engagement and connection within the community. Support is on-hand if required, with a team of professionals ready in case of health concern. But residents in Independent Living do just that! You have the freedom to live independently, come and go as you please, with the bonus of having access to the retirement residence’s amenities, services such as our chef-inspired dining—experienced in our community dining room, or you have the flexibility to dine in your suite—and senior’s programming like socials and fitness clubs. Independent living offers the freedom to live your way, with peace of mind and available care when you need it.

The essentials of Independent Living:

• Two exceptional, chef-inspired meals daily and a continental breakfast

Assisted Living

Our team of caring professionals is ready to assist residents with daily activities while encouraging independence where possible. Like Independent Living, socializing is encouraged through numerous programs, activities, and amenities. Individualized attention is placed on assisting personal care needs and inspiring purposeful living with spirit and energy. Assisted Living residents enjoy three exceptional, chef-inspired meals daily in our dining room, medication administration assistance, and Life Enrichment activities designed for cognitive and physical benefits.

Distractions are minimal in this specialized environment, and we ensure you have 24/7 support from highly trained team members in a loving, safe and secure environment.

• 24/7 registered nurse supervision

Weighing Your Senior Living Care Options

The choice is personal and depends on numerous factors such as physical capability and mental awareness. For example, a loved one with early onset dementia may do very well in an assisted living community, while those with a current independent lifestyle may be struggling more with the day-to-day and could benefit from extra support that a retirement residence offers. The cost of each level of care varies, as does the physical layout depending on which wellness level you choose and the residence.
