| Annotation | This work results from an earlier report `Eating well for older people', by the Caroline Walker Trust, having identified the need to look at how dementia affects the ability to eat well. It examines the role that good nutrition can play in the care of older people with dementia, and how a good diet can help with health problems. It offers practical guidelines for achieving a good diet, and strategies to encourage older people with dementia to eat well. The training of staff and their involvement at all levels are seen as important, so that nutrition becomes part of a home's organisational culture. Design features can also encourage good nutrition, and recommendations are made for this and the other aspects covered. (RH). |
