My Mum (AD) has over a period of time been increasingly reluctant to use her knife and fork in the conventional way when eating. With a little prompting she will cut her food up as normal then puts her knife down, swops her fork to her right hand & pushes food on to her fork with her left hand. If I continue to remind her I get the huffpuff response. It's not that she has forgotten how to use them it's more that she has chosen this unusual technique. She has also recently started just picking food up with her hands & not just appropriate finger foods.
To counter this I have increased hand hygiene at meal times.
However, I am curious has any one else witnessed this?
