A basic expectations of nursing homes is that they will provide all necessary care, and pay special attention to the physical needs of each resident. Dehydration is a preventable condition that only occurs when nursing home staff fails to provide adequate access to liquids and fails to monitor a resident’s needs. Nothing should stop a nursing home resident from having access to the hydration he or she needs—having access to something as fundamental to survival as water is a right. Violations of this right include:

• Failure to document or provide care for inadequate hydration
• Failure to provide necessary amounts of water or other appropriate sources of hydration
• Denial of access to water
• Refusal to supply water as a “punishment”
