By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

You may want to bring your mother in to see her primary care physician if she is the only individual in the household tasting 'salty' water.
They are like a giant jelly treat. So, elderly people can eat them easily. They don't stick to teeth or anything. they quickly turn into water but do not burst when you bit them.
It was created by a man to keep his elderly grandma hydrated.
Just look at Jellydrops.com
Have you tried adding unsweetened fruit juices?
Cranberry juice, lemon juice, apple juice.
My Husband loved Crystal Light. I am not a fan due to the artificial sweetener but he would drink LOTS of it..
Have you tired Iced Tea or even hot tea?
I know you are trying to get 100% water into her but pick your battles. If the sweetened tea, juice, and even artificial sweetened drinks get her to drink more fluids that is a win in my book.
You can also start serving more soup as one of her meals. Soup = fluid.
Popsicles I would also think of as a fluid.
I remember back when I was using whiting toothpaste, I got a scare as I was losing my sense of taste. Stopped using that whiting toothpaste and after a couple of weeks my sense of taste returned.... whew!!
~Perhaps it’s not your water. When you are dehydrated you concentrate the salts with your saliva when you will taste salt in your mouth and on your lips!
~If mom has had Covid, this could be the after effects of the virus causing taste changes which are sometimes long lasting and other times short lived.
Geaton has some good suggestions for giving mom 'juicier' foods to increase her water intake.
Good luck.
