What this trial studies

This interventional program combines education about hydration with improved access to a variety of hydrating drinks for residents aged 60 and older living independently at Cornwall Manor. The study aims to measure changes in participants' knowledge about hydration and their actual water intake after the education initiative. It is conducted at Cornwall Manor with Duquesne University as the lead sponsor and Cornwall Manor as a collaborator. Eligible participants are English-speaking, literate adults 60+ without certain kidney or heart conditions who can drink thin liquids and can manage their own guardianship. Exclusions include individuals with heart failure, dialysis, end-stage renal disease, or SIADH due to safety concerns with increased water intake.
