Hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone has any tips or thoughts. I’m caring for my mum who has Alzheimer’s. She lives with dad and they’re 20 mins drive away. I see them for most of the day on Mondays and Thursdays. Mum can no longer remember what she cooked the night before so they often end up with the same thing two nights running. Plus they’re often eating food that may have been defrosted some days previously which also worries me. I’ve been trying writing on the calendar what’s supposed to be for dinner each day but of course she often doesn’t remember what day it is. We’ve bought her an electronic screen which displays the day and date. but she often forgets to look at it. I’ve also been encouraging dad to remind her about meals when I’m not there. Dad finds this difficult to do as he’s never been involved with cooking etc plus she gets irritated with him if he ‘interferes’. Dad says the quality of the cooking is getting worse too but that’s a separate issue. Any thoughts anyone?
