My mother has 'mid stage' alzheimers , and needless to say, a very poor memory. All is well as can be expected at the minute, apart from meal times.
She tends to drown her dinner in salt, and a few minutes later she will do the same again, I have tried every imaginable 'therapeutic lie' and trick under the sun, but this continues to happen. Normally I would just let this stage run its course until she gets fed up, however, she has angina which is worrying me. If I just remove the salt from the house she refuses to eat...
Has anyone come across this before? I was thinking of substituting the salt for another substance, but what??
Baffled,
Mike.
