Hi MIL has Alzheimer’s- memory very bad now although still recognises immediate family and friends. Is able to make herself drinks but often leaves then around the house and forgets to drink them. Is there a dementia friendly flask that could be made for her to pour from throughout the day?
Many thanks

Has she got Carers @Ammacca? Sounds like she might need someone coming in to encourage her to drink.
