Description
Did you know the exact number of people living with dementia and how many are undernourished is unknown? Tune into this intriguing conversation with Accredited Practising Dietitian Yvonne Feeley who estimates from her experience more than half of those living with dementia in residential aged care are malnourished. We explore the associated difficulties dementia residents experience when it comes to food and eating, practical tips that address when, what and how food is offered to overcome barriers to eating and the seemingly simple but overlooked role of nutrition education. Plus, Yvonne explores the link between functional decline, poor nutrition and cognitive decline.
