In our experience as a Home Care Provider in Lincolnwood, IL, we have witnessed how our senior clients forget to put much effort into drinking enough liquids so they can stay hydrated even when they are at home. By preparing these refreshing drinks for your senior loved ones, you can be almost certain that they will start a healthy drinking habit.

• Fresh Fruit Shakes or Juices
  Making these drinks beforehand makes serving them a lot easier and faster, especially when you store them in safe plastic or glass bottles. Add on a label to help them quickly identify the drink they want to consume for the day. Not only is the drink refreshing and cool, squeezing and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables adds more vitamins and nutrients on top of their daily supplements.
• Fruit-Infused Water
  Soaking assorted fruits like strawberries, oranges, and lemons, with a few mint leaves into a clean drinking bottle can make water consumption more enjoyable because of the fruit twist flavor. Mix and match different fruits so the senior loved one can have a variety of flavors to choose from every day and every week. This fruit infusion makes the water healthier since antioxidants are now mixed into the water content. Antioxidants and vitamins found in fruits help make the immune system stronger, while the water keeps the body well hydrated. Whenever they finish a bottle, they can refill it again with water or enjoy the fruits straight up.
• Health-TEA Drinks
