Question
How can I deal with changing eating habits? My mom is terribly frustrated with my dad at mealtime. He eats very slowly, eats very little, and a meal turns into a battle, as my mom is concerned that he get enough nutrition. He has moderate Alzheimer's.

I have the same problem with my mom. She was always a good cook and dad always loved whatever she made... He now has dementia. I had the hospice nurse talk to mom and explain that as he gets older, he doesnt require as much food as when he was active. We also make sure he always has an ensure handy. This seems to help.
