Drink-Aide™ was designed by the residents and staff of Inglis House. Inglis House is a long-term care facility that's home for nearly 300 adults with physical disabilities in Philadelphia, PA. Inglis House residents helped develop Drink-Aide™ and benefit from using it, and they have become entrepreneurs through the production of this revolutionary water bottle. Drink-Aide™ is assembled, packaged, tested and distributed by Inglis House residents who work in the vocational rehabilitation program.

Bill Hughes has been an Inglis House resident since 1974 and has been involved in the design and manufacture of Drink-Aide™ since its inception. Bill works in the Vocational Rehabilitation Department every day performing most of the 14 operations necessary to produce Drink-Aide™. Over the years, Bill has become an expert on its manufacture and has made many improvements in the process. "Drink-Aide™ is like a helping hand. That's the best way to describe the product," says Bill. "It helps people. That's good." Like all members of the Drink-Aide™ team, Bill takes pride in the product he produces.
