Hydration Water Bottle
“9/10 Elderly patients arrive at hospital with problems caused by dehydration (BBC Points West)”
Lack of easy, independent access to fluids is a major cause of dehydration and its associated problems.
The Hydrant is the solution.
The Hydrant is for anyone who is unable to drink independently or pick up a glass or jug, usually because they are bed bound or have limited mobility, increasing the risk of dehydration.
The Hydrant has an innovative and intelligent design to give those with limited mobility a way to increase independence, solving the problem of reaching, lifting or holding drinks and thus promotes self-sufficiency and facilitates hydration for these individuals across Aged Care, Hospitals, Home Care and Maternity.
Why is The Hydrant unique?
- The flexi-grip handle attaches to almost anything, keeping your drink close by
- The tube allows 24/7 access, allowing you to drink whenever you choose

- Ergonomic handle and indentations for easy holding, even for users with a poor grip, Parkinson's, MS, arthritis etc.
2. For Nurses/ Carers - Savings and Efficiencies:
- Helps prevent dehydration-related hospital admissions
- Saves valuable staff resource, releasing more time for healthcare professionals
- Simple to use and easy to clean, dishwasher safe
- Hang, hook or clip the water bottle to a bed, walking frame, chair or wheelchair
- Contributes towards a faster recovery, freeing up beds more quickly

Fall Prevention
Falls do happen, unfortunately, as you grow older falls can become more often and you are more likely to injure yourself in the process.
Consider six simple fall prevention strategies to reduce your chances of having a fall:
- Make an appointment with your health care provider:
Your health care provider can assess your risk and discuss fall prevention strategies, and they may want to check your current medication, any previous fall and/or any eye and ear disorders that may increase your risk of falling and or re-occurring.
- Keep moving:
Doing regular strength exercises and balance exercises can improve your strength and balance and reduce your risk of having a fall. As long as your health care provider approves, consider simple activities such as walking, dancing, water workouts, tai chi or specialist training programmes created by a physical therapist referred by your GP.
3. Remove home hazards:
Take a look around your home for potential fall hazards and set simple changes to make your home safer such as:
- Remove objects such as boxes, electrical cords, coffee tables and plant vases from high-traffic areas.
- Immediately clean spilled liquids, grease or food.
- Use non-slip floor mats in your bathtub, shower and/ or beside your bed.
4. Light up your living space:
Make sure all rooms, passages and staircases are well lit to avoid tripping on objects that are hard to see.
5. Use assistive devices:
Your health care provider might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady. Other assistive devices can help, too. For example:
- Handrails for both sides of stairways
- Bed rails
- A raised toilet seat or one with armrests
- Grab bars for the shower or tub
- Use a bath seat, which allows you to sit while showering.
- Bed Alarm and Sensor Pads
If necessary, ask your health care provider for a referral to an occupational therapist. An occupational therapist can help you brainstorm other fall prevention strategies.
6. Wear sensible shoes:
Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall prevention plan: wear properly fitting, sturdy, flat shoes with non-skid soles. Sensible shoes may also reduce joint pain.
At Alpha Medical Solutions, we understand the importance of reliable Fall Prevention Products. Our range of Falls Prevention products ensures our commitment to providing the elderly and NDIS Participants with the best fall prevention strategies to reduce your chances of having a fall.
