During the recent heatwaves we’ve seen more focus around the importance of hydration for ladies and gents we support in in our care homes, so we wanted to share an article we published previously called Getting the Measure of Hydration.  

In the article you can read about: 

• Complications which can result from dehydration
• The tell tale signs that someone is dehydrated
• Latest industry innovations to promote hydration
• Our top hydration hacks
• How to create a person centred hydration plan
• Our top product solutions to promote independent drinking

I would also add two of the latest fantastic innovations to promote hydration for the elderly:

1.) Jelly Drops -  an innovative sugar-free treat, made of 95% water, designed to increase fluid intake and which are popular with people with dementia, the elderly & others who struggle to stay hydrated. https://www.jellydrops.com/

2.) Hydracare which includes Hydracup  – the only automated hydration n tracking system, with no more paper based records! It   Measures fluid volume 24/7 and knows exactly how much your people you support have had to drink. You can learn more here: https://www.aquarate.com/
