Top tips to keep your elderly loved ones hydrated 💦

Staying hydrated can be tricky, especially for the elderly who might not realise they’re not drinking enough, or struggle to access multiple drinks due to mobility issues.

Here are a few easy ways to help keep your elderly loved ones hydrated👇

🍽 Encourage them to drink with meals.
☕ Turn hydration into a social thing, like enjoying a cup of tea together.
💦 Use a 1.5-2L jug or bottle to track their water intake.
🍉 Offer foods with high water content, like soup, sugar free jelly, or fruits like melon.

Small gestures like this, can make a big difference.
