Tip of the Day-Eating Habits with Alzheimer’s and Dementia Patients

🧠 MemoryNest Fact

Did you know? Changes in eating habits are common as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia progress.

A person may:

• Forget they’ve already eaten—or forget to eat altogether.

• Lose interest in foods they once loved.

• Experience changes in taste or smell.

• Have difficulty using utensils, chewing, or swallowing.

• Prefer familiar foods or sweets.

These changes are part of the disease—not stubbornness.

Small, consistent meals, a calm dining environment, and plenty of patience can help make mealtimes more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone involved.

💚 Every meal is another opportunity to provide comfort, dignity, and connection.
