[quote=Anonymous]My mother, who has alzheimer’s (stage 6 or so) is making excuses not to eat, as in, “The food has gone bad. It’s old. It just tasted bad.” I am at my wits end! I quit my job to take care of her. I make healthy time-consuming homemade meals, inspired in our ethnic background. She will just not eat! I understand Alzheimer’s patients can experience changes in with their sense of taste. She is 86 years old, weighs about 90 lbs and is 5 ft tall. What to do? Do I just make her drink Ensures? She’s not a fan of those drinks. Do I just let her skip meals? Have you had this issue? At times, when I’m fed up, I just take the full bowl away, and that is that! Other times, I go back downstairs and fix her another meal! Ugh! The guilt is real![/quote]
