My colleague had been talking to a long since retired nurse of people with dementia. She had worked closely, for many years, with a doctor who recognised that people with dementia often develop a sweet tooth. In order to get his patients to eat he prescribed sugar on everything - cottage pie, beef stew, fish and chips, Christmas dinner - on everything. And, for those who couldn't or wouldn't eat, he prescribed a bottle of Guiness and a melted Mars bar because all the day's goodness was to be found in those 2 things he said!
I thought they were wonderful ideas from days gone by but perhaps there may be something useful today in his old fashioned prescriptions.
