20 Creative Ways to Hydrate the Elderly in Senior Care

Hi Rachel

I am sure you will find many great ideas on golden Carers

I had folders for each month so that if we needed to do an activity we could pull something out of the folder

If you have any specific questions let us know because all the members are here to help

Hi Andrea

There are several things you can do for those with diabetes

Use a low calorie or no calorie drink and mix it with no calorie soda

I like low calorie cranberry juice and low calorie ginger ale seems to be the favorite

But I am sure you can come up with many creative ideas

Perhaps the food service director can help you as well as a dietitian

Let us know what favorite you come up with

we work in the community and encourage hydrations through

stewing seasonal fruit - you can control sugar content doing it yourself (here in New Zealand we have a fruit called Fejoia, which have great water content), apples, pears, etc Rubarab is great too, then strain the water content out, use fruit for breakfast/dessert, keep juice in fridge, adding Soda water or water with gas is great treat too (not tonic water as it is full of sugar)

Im looking for recipes for mocktails for diabetics, something eady eniugh as im not allowed in kitchen.. So have to be able to make in activities room

Thanx all..

Wow, these suggestions are just great! Hydration is SO important, and anything we can do to encourage water intake is fantastic. Thank you!

Very timely reminder while we are having heat wave periods here in Canada this summer. Thanks so much for this article!
