Does anyone have experience of how to tackle weight gain in carehome setting.
My mum has gone from a svelt size 12 to about a size 20 in less than a year.
It seems to be effecting her walking and mobility which used to be very good for her age.
I did send an email to the carehome manager who said they would encourage her to go for a walk outside, I'm not sure this is happening and I think this weight gain is bound to effect her health. She has mentioned how unhappy she is about it too.
