[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're probably doing something wrong on her end. Like, you are probably losing patience and doing it for her without giving her enough time to do it for herself. Or you are probably fixing her meals when she is not hungry yet. My mom had dementia and some of her caregivers are better than others wrt how they interact with her and get her to do things for herself. Like they will be sitting at the table with her and will offer her bites of food and put the food in her mouth rather than just sitting there and letting her eat by herself super slowly. But no, I dont think she is "faking" it because she is lazy. Good lord.[/quote] Why would it matter? She is not a child and she won’t develop independence if she does things herself “super slowly”. Why not feed her. [/quote]
