This article describes through sequential exploratory method which designs to explore the existing practices used in hydration. Data has been collected through two stages, in first stage twenty-nine responses were received from 81 care homes, whereas in second stage information collected from the practitioners experiences which includes 54 staff and 43 interviews.

The study is described in detail in two aged care homes.

The main purpose of the study is to identify the problems of dehydration which is a leading problem in aged care homes with severe consequences. It also focus on the interventions which can be used to optimise the hydration care for aged people in older care home settings.
