Course overview

Dehydration and malnutrition are common yet often overlooked health risks, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those receiving community-based or long-term care. Left unaddressed, these conditions can lead to serious complications, increased hospitalizations, and diminished quality of life. This course provides essential training for caregivers, direct support professionals, and healthcare staff on how to recognize the early signs and symptoms of dehydration and malnutrition and take proactive steps to prevent them. Participants will learn about the physiological causes, risk factors, and potential consequences of fluid and nutrient deficiencies, along with practical strategies for promoting adequate hydration and nutrition in everyday care settings. Through real-world scenarios, simple assessment tools, and effective intervention techniques, learners will build the skills needed to support the overall health and well-being of those they serve. Whether you are new to the field or looking to refresh your knowledge, this course empowers you to play a critical role in identifying and addressing two of the most preventable health issues in caregiving.
