💧The Flourish Mixology Drink Bar – Hydration with Purpose 💧
At Charter Senior Living of Murray, our Flourish℠ Memory Care team is always looking for innovative ways to enhance the health, happiness, and quality of life for residents. One of our most meaningful programs — the Mixology Drink Bar — was created with that very goal in mind.
Research shows that up to one in four older adults in long-term care experience dehydration, with even higher risks for those living with dementia. Many residents may not recognize when they’re thirsty or may forget to drink, leading to health complications like confusion, headaches, or infections.
Our Mixology Drink Bar provides a purposeful and engaging way to encourage hydration. Through colorful beverages, fresh fruit garnishes, and inviting aromas, residents enjoy new flavors and social connection — all while maintaining healthy hydration levels. This program helps reduce “flavor fatigue” by offering variety and choice, and it creates moments of joy through participation, conversation, and sensory stimulation.
Beyond the drinks themselves, this daily program promotes dignity, independence, and belonging, key pillars of our Flourish Philosophy. We’re proud to nurture purpose and possibilities every day — one refreshing sip at a time. 🌿
