Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone can offer any advice. My mum now has severe dementia and resides in a care home. For a while she has been putting things in her mouth and chewing them, mainly soft toys, but recently this has escalated to chewing her duvet, someone's bracelet, sweet wrappers and bun cases. The care home are being very good and have banned sweets in wrappers and bun cases for fear that she may choke on something. We have even tried getting her a sturdy teething toy but she prefers to chew the soft bits.
I know it's a long shot but has anyone come across this before and can you offer any words of wisdom?
Many thanks x
