We all know that water is essential to our well-being. Yet, its importance becomes even more critical as we age. That’s where Billi steps in, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier products backed by cutting-edge research. Beyond hydration, our solutions are about elevating everyday experiences while taking care of your health.
For over three decades, Billi UK has been at the forefront of water filtration and dispensing technology. Our commitment is unwavering—to provide drinking solutions that combine both quality and convenience. With our industry-leading expertise, we’ve designed systems tailored to the needs of aged care facilities and the elderly. In this article, we’ll expand on why this is important and how Billi systems can improve the quality of life for elderly people.
When it comes to how much fluid an elderly person should drink in the UK, most health authorities, such as the NHS, recommend at least 1.6 to 2 litres of water a day. However, it’s not just about quantity; the quality of water matters too. Billi UK’s range of filters and dispensers not only makes drinking water a more enjoyable experience but also ensures that every sip is as pure as it should be.
Dehydration is a serious concern for elderly individuals, particularly those residing in the UK where central heating is common. Dehydration can lead to severe complications for all people, but especially for elderly people where existing health complications may be exacerbated, including urinary tract infections and kidney problems. Our drinking water solutions for aged care are designed to mitigate these risks by providing an uninterrupted supply of filtered water that’s free from contaminants.
Aging immune systems are more susceptible to infections. Waterborne pathogens can be a hidden risk in this equation. Our advanced filtration systems remove impurities and potential bacteria, thus reducing the chance of infection which is crucial in elderly care settings.
Have you ever tasted water that left an aftertaste? Often, the elderly are more sensitive to these nuances. Whether it’s a hot cuppa or a refreshing cold drink, the improved taste encourages more frequent fluid intake among the elderly.
The elderly often find it challenging to handle cumbersome water jars or wait for the kettle to boil. Some of our dispensers safely provide instant boiling water, making it effortless to prepare hot beverages. The convenience factor amplifies fluid intake among the elderly, ensuring they stay hydrated safely and without accident.
Beyond convenience, water taste and quality, and instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling options, our systems are also designed with safety in mind, with safety switches on instant boiling options and simple controls for accessibility.
As leaders in the water solutions industry, we are committed to making a tangible difference in the quality of life for the elderly. Help the elderly people in your care and view our range of water systems today, or contact our specialists for a tailored solution.
