Hi everyone, I help my mum with the caring of my 81 year old dad who has Vascular Dementia. As with all Italian families meal times are always an important part of our day and from since ever we have always sat down as a family at meal time. Just lately dad refuses to eat " says the doctors told him not to eat " and he is starting to show weight loss. He has breakfast ( toast and cup tea ) every morning no probs , come lunch time won't eat but has spent most of the morning telling everyone that no one gives him anything to eat , he will eat his lunch later that day but expects his supper shortly afterwards. We are not concerned about when he eats but more with the amount he's eating and his weight loss . Do we need to get the doctors involved or is this just part of the course with this vile disease. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks in advance.
