I am very worried about my Mum. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year and is very slim. Recently the carer has been weighing her every month and she is losing weight.
I have been round to her house with a healthy takeaway. I tried to encourage her to have some but she’d forgotten I said I was bringing it round and had some toast earlier. She said she’d have some later.
It may get to the point where I would need to get an evening carer in once a week to help her with meals. She currently has a Carer in the mornings for an hour a day.
I’ve tried everything - including ordering healthy meals from a catering company which she can put in the microwave.
She is also now saying she doesn’t like the nutrition drinks she has. I can’t find any meals on wheels companies that would deliver in the evenings when she has her main meal.
Any suggestions? Thanks
