hello... I work in a seniors residence and I often worry that they re not drinking enough but they all suffer from some form of dementia so its hard to tell sometimes by their behavior. is there a certain amount they should be drinking daily? more than someone younger?less? what types of liquids should I avoid giving them? If you could help me out with some advice I d appreciate it. Thank you
Hi dear, for dementia patients not advised any specific Chat Doctor. And for amount of liquid is same as all person of his or her age not increased or decreased amount. In dementia patient mostly to aware them about day, time, place, and also make a regular habit to do daily activities etc.consult psychiatrist for better care of dementia. Certain medication also there to delay dementia progress like Donepezil, meantime, rivastgmie etc... Thank you
