Nutrition and Hydration Week at Newlands care homeResidents at Newlands care home in Stockport were delighted to participate in Nutrition and Hydration Week as staff turned the educational event into a fun activity for everyone living at the home.

To promote the importance of hydration and nutrition, staff at the home provided hot and cold beverages, along with fruit for Residents to enjoy.

The idea behind the event was to encourage Residents to engage with one another in a social setting, while promoting the benefits of staying hydrated.

One Resident commented: “I really enjoyed the event, the drinks were so refreshing!”

Michelle Pepworth, Home Manager at Newlands, said: “It is so nice to see Residents socialising in a less formal setting. Newlands intends to make this a regular feature, as not only does it get Residents together socially but has the underlying message of remaining hydrated.”
