The following tips can help to reduce the risk of a UTI in someone with dementia.

There are many reasons why a person with dementia may experience a change in their relationship with food. Some may lose interest in meals and seem to have reduced appetite, while others become anxious about not eating enough.

People with dementia often experience problems with eating and drinking, but there are ways to help manage these.

From the October/November 2015 issue of our magazine, we asked staff at a day centre about how they had selected eating and drinking aids for people with dementia to use.

From our magazine, difficulties in swallowing food become more common as dementia progresses, though they vary from person to person. We asked our Dementia Support Forum members about helping someone who is having difficulties swallowing (dysphagia).

From the June/July 2016 issue of our magazine, read about how being included in planning meals and in buying, cooking, eating and clearing up after food is something that many people with dementia enjoy.
