My mum has both Alzheimer's and Vascular dementia. Over the last couple of years she has had several chest infections - only now it seems this has been a problem caused by fluids going into her lungs when she swallows.
She has now had a swallowing assessment which states she has 'demonstrated rapid bolus transfer placing her at risk of aspiration'. Can anyone tell me what that means please?
