One of our residents with dementia fills his mouth too full and doesn't swallow quickly enough when eating to the point of food falling out of his mouth. This is upsetting for other residents and embarassing for his family. Some feel physically sick to see it. We've tried prompting him to stop putting food in, but he gets cranky asking if we think he can't even feed himself. Any suggestions?
Thank you for the resources provided on Golden Carers. I found them immensely valuable, relevant and worthwhile. Educational and updated information provided. Great activity ideas and suggestions. The activities presented are appropriate and can be adapted to different client groups in any English speaking country. It is easy to read and understand the instructions and explanations.
