[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to do that much if she is in assisted living. Cut back.[/quote] Have you had a loved one with dementia in assisted living? The staff are over worked and underpaid. My grandmother was losing weight[b] because they were not patient enough to feed her. [/b]My aunt went nearly every day at lunch and my father went at dinner time to spoon feed her like a baby the last 6 months of her life. [/quote] They are overworked. How disgusting of you to LIE and criticize them! Where were YOU? [/quote] I wonder about the system where we spoon feed people for 6 months when they have end stage dementia and no chance of recovery. It's not what I'd want for myself. My mother was in palliative care with end stage cancer and delirium for four months, and was kept alive for that time by staff who did spoon feed her, but I question whether it was worth it for anyone.[/quote]
