This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Hello! As client of Zane law I was recently involved in accident last September and my recovery is still healing but Zane law checked on me and made sure everything was going smoothly and made sure I was on the right step every single time. I definitely would used them again ! They have helped my recovery so much and being a mom of 6 it has made my days a little more better/easier! From chiropractor to message therapist and making sure I had that extra help like trauma counseling to get through my days! I thank you so much Rachel and Annabelle!

car accident

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

Understanding Dehydration In The Elderly

As adults begin to age, the total amount of water in their bodies decreases. When combined with other factors of aging, like less sensitivity to thirst, malfunctioning kidneys, and diminished mobility, it all adds up to older adults’ suffering a higher risk of dehydration. The numbers increase past the age of 85 or for the elderly who have been institutionalized.

Preventing Malnutrition And Dehydration In Nursing Homes

Nursing homes can and should take reasonable care to ensure that their residents are consuming plenty of food with the nutrients they need, as well as the amount of water they need to remain hydrated.

Regulating Meals’ Nutritional Content

Any facility that benefits from Medicaid and Medicare funding is required to issue three meals daily that “meet the nutritional needs of residents in accordance with established national guidelines.”  But just because a nutritionally adequate meal is offered, does not mean nursing home residents will eat it.

Promoting Residents’ Healthy Eating

Nurses and staff can take simple measures to encourage better eating habits among residents:

  • Helping residents with their dentures
  • Positioning residents correctly to eat safely
  • Encouraging residents to self-feed
  • Assisting residents with cutting food and opening packages
  • Encouraging residents to eat in the dining room with other residents
  • Ensuring that feeding assistants interact with residents as they eat
  • Refer residents as needed to specialists, like dentists, nutritionists, counselors and doctors who can address specific issues interfering with residents’ healthy eating habits

Nursing Staff Preventing Dehydration

A nursing home staff can help residents maintain healthy hydration by:

  • Offering fluids both between meals and during meals
  • Adjust the consistency of beverages to suit residents’ ability to swallow
  • Serving residents’ foods that contain high levels of water (fruits, soup, yogurt)
  • Provide specialized cups and straws to help residents drink
  • Refer residents as needed to specialists who can document fluid intake
