⚠️ Heatwave conditions are set to return, and it’s important to keep our loved ones with dementia well hydrated.

Dehydration is a common challenge for people living with dementia, even in milder weather, so it’s important to take extra caution when temperature soar.

If you have a loved one living with dementia, take note of these ways to support them in the heat:

Leave beakers or jugs of water in easy reach. This is especially important for people with limited mobility, who aren’t able to get up and make themselves a drink.

Make drinking easier. Try a brightly coloured cup or straw to draw attention. Make sure the beaker is within line of sight, and not too heavy or an odd shape.

Share a drink together. Have a cup of tea or a soft drink with the person, and make sure they're drinking during mealtimes.

Leave prompts and reminders. Try leaving notes out for your loved one or putting up notices around the house. You could also set up a phone reminder or set an alarm clock.

Offer high-water content foods. Supplement water and other drinks with foods that are high in fluids. Some good options include soup, cucumber and fruit like melon.

Try offering something that feels like a treat. Ice lollies and ice cream are cooling and have a high water content, while Jelly Drops are 95% water and designed to help you stay hydrated.

📢 Please share so we can keep everyone living with dementia safe and hydrated in the heat.

It's a fascinating reminder that healthy aging isn't only about physical health.

Awe is the feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world, like looking up at millions of stars in the night sky or marveling at the birth of a child. When people feel awe, they may use other words to describe the experience, such as wonder, amaz...

Exceptional care isn't always found in grand gestures.

Sometimes it's remembering how someone takes their coffee.

Knowing which chair they always choose.

Recognizing when they simply need someone to sit beside them.

The smallest details often leave the biggest impression.
