Advanced Care Techniques for Dementia Patients.pdf

Nutrition and hydration are critical aspects of care for dementia patients. With progression of the disease, sometimes patients may forget to eat or drink, and even lose all interest. As a caregiver, ensure that the meals are small, frequent, and easy to chew and swallow. Additionally, ensure that there are nutrient-dense foods and hydration available throughout the day. Keep monitoring the patient’s weight and other essential vitals to ensure their health is maintained.
