Staying hydrated is essential for overall health, yet it can often be a challenge for older individuals. That’s why Trinity Homecare and Jelly Drops are coming together to support their innovative and effective solution.
By combining its expert home care services with Jelly Drops' pioneering approach to hydration, Trinity hopes to enhance the quality of life for those the company supports, helping them to remain independent and thrive in the comfort of their own homes.
Jelly Drops is an award-winning brand that produces sweets designed to aid hydration in older people, especially those affected by conditions like dementia. The 95% water-based, sugar-free and vegan sweet is packed with refreshing electrolytes and vitamins that help boost hydration.
This innovative product was invented by Lewis Hornby, following his own experience seeing his grandmother Pat, who had dementia, struggle to stay hydrated. This spurred him on to find a way to make things easier for her and the thousands of others affected by dementia in the UK.
Although primarily designed for the elderly and specifically those who may have problems staying hydrated due to other medical conditions like dementia, Jelly Drops can be enjoyed by everyone.
Despite being made of 95% water, the sweets don’t burst, melt or dissolve in your mouth. Instead, they have a unique solid-yet-smooth texture that is easy to eat and makes hydration more enjoyable for all.
Staying hydrated is crucial for older people, particularly those with dementia or mobility challenges, as dehydration can worsen confusion, increase fatigue, and raise the risk of infections. However, many struggle to drink enough due to forgetfulness or difficulty accessing fluids. Jelly Drops offer a simple and enjoyable solution, providing a convenient way to boost hydration and support overall wellbeing.
