Changes in eating habits can be a major challenge in caring for someone with dementia. These changes can stem from various factors, including: - Chewing and Swallowing Difficulties - Memory Issues - Lack of Attention - Perceptual Challenges - Communication Barriers - Physical Discomfort Beyond these, other elements like medication side effects, dental health issues, difficulties in sequencing mealtime activities, changes in the social dynamics of eating, not recognizing food, and natural appetite reduction towards life's end can also play significant roles. For caregivers, navigating these changes can be incredibly stressful, often feeling caught between ensuring adequate nutrition and respecting the individual's autonomy and preferences. In this series, I'll be delving deep into the topic of eating and dementia.

In-Office Dementia Test Just the First Step in Getting a Diagnosis Dear Carol: My mom is showing signs of compromised decision-making ability as well as some short-term memory loss. I understand that there are quick, in-office tests for dementia that people can take. Should we ask Mom’s doctor to administer one? My grandmother had Alzheimer’s, so we’re both skittish about this. I think it’s better to know if she’s developing Alzheimer’s, but she says there’s no point since there’s no cure.
