This week our residents have been trialling Jelly Drops, which help to hydrate people with dementia. Living with dementia means residents can often forget they've had a drink, or not realise they're thirsty. This can lead to dehydration, something that becomes a real risk when the weather warms up.
Jelly Drops are easy to handle and come in six flavours/colour for residents to choose between. Fred announced it was like an 'explosion' in his mouth!
We love that they allow residents to hydrate independently, and with reduced agitation #JellyDrops #Dehydration #Hydration #Dementia
