[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP, this is how dementia patients tend to go as they get closer to the end. My dad eventually refused to eat. Some eventually refuse to drink. Would try pudding or dessert or something high calorie, high fat and sweet which may appeal to her. Doesn't need to be homemade.[/quote] This. we have to force our father to drink water.[/quote] You eventually have to even give up on this as well. I have read about some special water products that look like jelly made especially for dementia patients: https://www.jellydrops.us/ At the end, we just opted to give our dad whatever he was willing to eat or drink, it's just all part of the disease and eventually they can't swallow. [/quote] We gave my Mom Jelly Drops. Put them in the refrigerator and gave them to her as a snack. [/quote]
