Yummy Soft Foods For Seniors

@C Siganoff ~ there may come a time when it hurts too much to swallow. . . do not be afraid of having a feeding tube temporarily installed. . . will keep dad much better hydrated and fed. Just an observation ~ a friend did so and did very well.

Made the family a pasta hamberger dish and blended for my sweet patient. Spread on crackers, she ate all! She'd normally have spit out much of the meat, even though choped well. . . Happy sigh ~ Most anything could be similarly blended. . . no need to not have yummy meals!

my dad had all his teeth removed because he will start radiation treatments in his mouth next wk. We have been giving him soups , potatoes, jellow etc. He is hungry all the time and bored of his new diet.... Any suggestions

What a wonderful list of suggested resources. I've been caring for my brain injured 57 yr old husband for 2 yrs now. There are so many ordinary things that we take for granted, - like the ability to swallow food. Yet the process of moving the food through the mouth and down the throat without choking - is an incredibly complicated process. Just eating wears him out because every swallow is an effort requiring intense concentration. I'm definately going to check out the resources mentioned because I cook and prepare 95% of what he eats and I need new suggestions.
