Good hydration! - Improving hydration through structured drinks rounds - Part Six

This is the last in a series of six short animated films about the importance of good hydration in keeping care home residents happy and healthy. The award-winning Good Hydration! structured drinks round initiative is helping reduce cases of urinary tract infection and ensuring that older people need fewer antibiotics and less time in hospital.

The key messages in this video are:

• Making sure care home residents have regular drinks is good for them
• Create attractive drinks trollies with lots of choice of drinks and cups
• Involve the people you are caring for and make it fun
• Use words that make drinks sound inviting and attractive
• You can be the difference and improve the lives of the people in your care!
