Encouraging someone with dementia or dysphagia to eat can be challenging, but there are a few strategies you can try such as offering small, frequent meals, serving familiar foods, making the food visually appealing and ensuring that the person is comfortable.
Remember, it's essential to involve a caregiver or healthcare professional, especially if the person with dementia is experiencing weight loss or malnutrition. They can offer additional guidance and support to ensure that the person is getting the necessary nutrients.
