NCT ID NCT07381881
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special gelled water (GEL-AID) in nursing home residents aged 65 and older. The goal is to see if it helps them drink more fluids, preventing dehydration, urinary infections, and respiratory infections. One group gets the usual hydration plan, while the other gets GEL-AID instead of regular gelatin or thickened liquids. The study will track fluid intake, infection rates, and overall health.
