Mum moved into a lovely care home around 3 weeks ago and has good and bad days. She is eating better than she has for months but she seems to be looking very gaunt around the face and is turning her trousers over at the top. Does the dementia stop her body absorbing the calories and nutrition?
She has Alzheimer’s and vascular with type 2 diabetes.
