A person who is living with dementia may not tell you they are too hot - hungry - or thirsty ...
If you are caring for someone who is living with dementia, please try to make sure the person drinks plenty of water regularly during these very hot spells to ensure rehydration.
Dehydration can happen easily and quickly.
Take a drink at the same time - This may help recognition and repetition.
Leave a jug of prepared squash in the fridge. Show the person you care for where it is.
Enjoy the sun
Remember to re-hydrate yourself and people you care.
Drink Water - Semi-Skimmed Milk - Juice
Try not to drink fizzy drinks or caffeine
