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?

Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
