Jelly Drops are designed to supplement normal fluid intake - ideal for anyone who forgets to drink, doesn't feel thirst, or just has a sweet tooth!
The idea behind Jelly Drops came when Lewis Hornby’s own grandmother Pat was admitted to hospital due to dehydration. Pat, who had dementia, spent 24 hours on IV fluids in hospital before thankfully making a full recovery. Lewis was left wondering how something so small could have a potentially life-threatening impact.
Lewis then spent a month in his grandmother’s care home, consulting with doctors, dementia specialists
and speech and language therapists before developing the sweet you can see today.
Received my order for my Dad
today. The fantastically fresh fruit smell was amazing. Dad loved them and safe
to say he happily munched away without any prompting! Success x

Bought these for my father-in-law who has dementia. He LOVES
them!! Easy to handle, loves the taste and enjoys choosing which one he wants
off the tray. We bought two trays to see if he liked them but will be ordering
lots more. Such a great product.

My father just loved them. When I asked him about them (he finds
it very difficult to speak) he told me he would be ordering more!

They are a massive hit with my
Nan and she is now eating a box a day. Unfortunately I can’t comment on the
flavour as she is refusing to share them with any of us.
- KB, April 2020
I wasn’t sure how Nan would take to Jelly Drops as she wasn’t very capable or able
of drinking independently. She also is fussy about textures and tastes. Nan
started off with the staff offering her the drops. Now
nan has a tray in front of her and she picks them out of the tray herself and
eats them independently. Jelly Drops have given my nan new confidence.
