Challenges with Eating and Drinking in Dementia

Mealtimes can become one of the most stressful parts of caring for a person with dementia. Refusing food or drinks, coughing during meals, weight loss, dehydration, and fear of choking can leave caregivers feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. In this live webinar, Joanna LaFleur, Joanna Dementia Expert, is joined by Brittany Eyestone, Speech Therapist with 10 years of experience, to explain why eating and drinking get harder in dementia and what helps. You will learn practical strategies to support hydration and nutrition, recognize warning signs, reduce fear and resistance at meals, and decide when adaptive plates, cups, and utensils may be useful. Live February 23 at 7:00 PM EST on Zoom. If you cannot attend live, you will receive the recording.
