How do I get my frail 85 years mom to drink water? She lives with me after she second stroke. She's very weak, doesn't eat much, and will only drink about 1-1/2cups of water a day. Constantly constipated and complains she can't poop. Tried teas, popsicle, sow cones, juices-doesn't work. Refuses to drink or eat anything with water, says she's Too full.
Have you tried offering her sips of water throughout the day? One sip here, one there?
What about nutritional drinks like Boost and Ensure with extra calories?
I wish I had better advice. This is all I can think of.
