Over the 11 years I have been a careprovider, I have come up with some ideas for making meals attractive, easier to eat and to be more ecconomical. I would like to share ideas that have worked in my home, and get ideas from others who have met chalenges in this respect.
My own thoughts are to figure out small, special treats, nice table colors and perhaps have music on if the elder enjoys that. Don't rush or force eating, watch body language on both sides, so if the elder is uncomfortable, the caregiver can spot it, and if the caregiver is stress, he or she can breathe deeply and try to shake it off. Let's hear from the readers!
