We are thrilled to announce that Rotherwood Care Home in Rotherham has been awarded the Gold Hydration Certificate by the Rotherham Dietetics department, recognising the home’s exceptional efforts and contributions to improving hydration among residents.

This prestigious accolade reflects Rotherwood Care Home’s commitment to providing high-quality care and ensuring the well-being of all residents. Maintaining proper hydration is a cornerstone of good health, particularly for older adults, as it can help prevent common issues such as dehydration-related illnesses, cognitive decline, and overall discomfort.

Under the dedicated leadership of Manager Emily Cornall, the team at Rotherwood Care Home has implemented innovative and effective hydration strategies, including:

• Regular hydration check-ins with residents.
• Offering a wide range of appealing drinks and hydrating snacks throughout the day.
• Educating residents and staff on the importance of staying hydrated.
• Creating a welcoming environment where hydration is part of daily routines.

Emily Cornall shared her thoughts on the achievement:

“This award is a testament to the hard work and passion of our entire team. Ensuring our residents stay healthy and happy is always our top priority. Being recognised with the Gold Hydration Certificate is an incredible honour, and it motivates us to continue raising the standard of care at Rotherwood.”

The award was presented on 13th January 2025, and it is a proud moment not only for the staff but also for the residents and their families.

At Rotherwood Care Home, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where each resident’s well-being is at the heart of everything we do. This award underscores our dedication to delivering exceptional care and ensuring our residents thrive in all aspects of their lives.
