Nutrition and Hydration week started on Monday 13 March, so we kicked off the week with a fun ‘Mocktail Monday’.
We made four non-alcoholic mocktails for our residents, including Mango Pine-lime and Peach Melba punch. Meanwhile our staff team enjoyed some ‘Cranberry sangria‘.
Our ‘Melonade‘ quickly became a popular drink amongst our residents; Albert said that it tasted like heaven when he had a sip and we made sure to take these refreshing drinks around to all our residents in their rooms so everyone could enjoy them.
Thursday 16 March was ‘Thirsty Thursday‘ when we served strawberry and vanilla ice creams as well as banana and strawberry ice lollies, to keep everyone well hydrated. We went around our lounge serving ice cream and Linda offered lollies to our residents, which made their eyes light up!
Stanley gave a big smile when we asked if he liked it and Albert mentioned that it had been a long time since he’d eaten an ice lolly. He took a lick and said it reminded him of the good old days.
Everyone loved the experience and were very appreciative of their delicious treats.
