Water for wellbeing of elderly: new Vic resource
A new resource kit – Water for Wellbeing – promoting adequate fluid intake for frail older people is a result of the Water for Your Water Project led by the Victorian Continence Resource Centre through funding from the Department of Human Services, Aged Care Branch.
The kit promotes the benefits of adequate fluid intake for frail older people and contains a booklet, printed brochures and a CD ROM of electronic resources providing education, care provision and organisational tools for HACC, Community Aged Care and Residential Aged Care staff.
The aim of the kit is to assist care providers of older people to promote the benefits of adequate fluid intake for frail older people and to develop hydration practice that is evidence informed.
Kits will be disseminated to residential aged care facilities and HACC providers across Victoria.
