About this ebook
When dementia enters a family, one of the most intimate and challenging daily tasks becomes feeding a loved one. This practical guide, written with deep empathy and real-world experience, helps you navigate the complex emotional and physical landscape of dementia and eating. You will learn why mealtime refusal, swallowing difficulties, weight loss, and behavioural changes happen, and how to respond with patience and skill. From adapting food textures to creating a calm dining environment, from managing hydration to knowing when to seek professional help, each chapter offers actionable strategies you can apply immediately. The book also addresses the often-overlooked toll on caregivers, guiding you to protect your own wellbeing while preserving your parent's dignity and comfort. No two journeys are the same, but with the right knowledge, you can transform mealtimes from a source of stress into moments of connection and care. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
