Hydration among older people is an important issue, especially in summer. If you care for someone, or you cater for care home residents, ensuring older people drink enough water through the day can be a constant challenge.
We have some inspiring ideas on our companion website here, in which VfL Chef Justina shares her top tips for desirable drinks.
Justina talks about jazzing-up a glass of water with fruit or herbs, adding bubbles with a SodaStream, or finding fun ways to add ice. She discusses imaginative ways to build water stations, and cool ways to serve tea and coffee, which pique the interest and tickle the taste buds to ensure the people in your care stay hydrated in the warmer months.
