| Annotation | This article briefly describes an audit that was developed to find available food-related care and dementia written material, and what resources are available on food-related information that help inform people with dementia and their caregivers. Written information was collected through visiting, calling and emailing target locations over three months, particularly hospitals and dementia departments around London and the UK. Five main themes emerged from the research: changes in appetite, changes in food preparation, methods of eating, eating out and dental care, and swallowing difficulties. Concludes that there is still limited written information available for informal caregivers, particularly around the area of food shopping. (JL). |
