All your questions answered now
WaterADE was devised to help care home residents keep hydrated and healthy. Since its launch, it has established itself as a must-have drink for care operators, with an ever-growing list of both independent care homes and care home groups. With nine flavours and more flavours in development, WaterADE offers residents real choice, making it easier for them to stay hydrated.
WaterADE is a non-sugar, non-gluten hydration option to orange juice. An average 1 litre of orange juice contains between 78 and 128 grams of sugar, and that can lead to high blood sugar levels, and other ailments, only too common among the elderly. It is simply not good for you. WaterADE contains four important vitamins for the elderly: C, A, D, and E. WaterADE provides the following percentages of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) per 100 ml serving.
- Vitamin C: 6 mg (7.5% NRV)
- Vitamin A: 60 µg (7.5% NRV)
- Vitamin D: 0.375 µg (7.5% NRV)
- Vitamin A - Helps defend against illness and infection (immune system).
- Vitamin D - Regulates calcium and phosphates in the body, nutrients needed for healthy bones, teeth and muscles.
- Vitamin E - Healthy skin and eyes.
- Vitamin E: 0.90 mg (7.5% NRV)
1 litre of Waterade consumed by a resident provides 75% of their daily required intake.
Many care homes offer orange juice or a cordial combination during the day. WaterADE provides a significant saving over these traditional drinks.
For many of our customers, WaterADE has replaced orange juice and cordial as the hydration option.

“We really liked the idea of the vitamins in the drinks and the huge choice of flavours we could offer residents. Being sugar-free also meant residents with diabetes could enjoy them without concern. The colours and flavour were also a deciding factor as the drinks became more appealing to residents living with dementia.”
Shona Bradbury
Home Manager, Appleby House, Care UK
“With 16 years of senior management experience in healthcare, I’ve seen firsthand how critical proper hydration is for older people. WaterADE offers an enjoyable and accessible solution that I observed making a positive impact in care homes, both for residents and frontline staff. I thoroughly recommend WaterADE.”
Robin Comerford
Freemantle Trust
“Since we started using WaterADE, we've seen a huge decline, a significant decline in the falls and certainly UTIs because our focus has been heavily on hydration and using the right product to make sure that's effective and personalised for our residents.”
Jody Marshall
Group Hospitality Manager, Caulfield House, Meallmore
“Since introducing WaterADE across all of our sites, the residents and staff and visitors alike have all thoroughly enjoyed it. The range of flavours, the aesthetically pleasing look of the hydration stations are all real winners in the homes and I actually can't fault either the product or the company itself.”
Stuart Middleton
Catering & Dining Operations Manager, Renaissance Care
“WaterADE allows someone to be able to drink two liters easily and to be able to support them with their wellbeing. It obviously reduces things like UTIs as it's sugar-free as well. You know, we're not piling a lot of sugar into people which are usually hidden within juices. And we utilize some of our care homes to trial the product and it's been very successful. So we've been there from day one.”
