☀️🥤 People living with dementia may not always realise when they are thirsty, which can lead to dehydration. I found that using a colouring picture as a prompt helped my mum drink more. Sometimes, drinking water or juice together and saying 'cheers' 🍻 also worked. The picture below was created a few years ago as a gentle reminder to drink. It helped my mum on several occasions, so I wanted to share it again. This approach shifts the focus away from constantly reminding your loved one to drink and instead uses gentle conversation, like saying, 'Oh, look, this is about drinking—why don't you have a drink?' This has worked for us a few times. You can download ⬇️ the resource here: https://mycolourfulmemories.com/downloads/drink-reminder-colouring-picture/
