An awareness campaign is being launched by a Hampshire company to highlight the growing problem of malnutrition and dehydration amongst older people living at home alone. 

Petersfield-based live-in care company, McDonald Homecare, is running the initiative across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey in support of National Nutrition and Hydration Week, which runs from 16th - 22nd March.

More information about Nutrition and Hydration Week can be found on the campaign website www.nutritionandhydrationweek.co.uk and on the McDonald Homecare website www.mcdonaldhomecare.co.uk.
