Mealtimes & Dementia 🍽️💚

Why it’s harder than people realise

If you’re finding that a loved one with dementia is refusing food, losing interest in meals, or becoming distressed at the table, you’re not imagining it, and you’re certainly not alone.

Dementia can affect appetite in ways families don’t always expect. Chewing or swallowing might be harder. Food might not look familiar anymore. Low mood, tiredness or even discomfort can make eating feel overwhelming. And that can turn something as simple as dinner into a daily worry.

At Home Instead Glasgow South, we see just how much this affects families, which is why we’ve pulled together real stories and practical tips that can genuinely help.

If you’ve picked up any tips or small wins that make mealtimes calmer or more successful, share them below 👇

Your experience might be exactly what another family needs to hear today.

🎉 Pajama Day at Home Instead! 🎉

On Friday, our team ditched the work gear for something a lot softer, cosy PJs, all in support of Children in Need! 🛌✨

We laughed, we lounged, and most importantly, we raised awareness for a truly brilliant cause. It was amazing to see everyone getting involved (and looking ridiculously comfy), big thanks to everyone who joined in!

Why do we do it? Because Children in Need helps children and young people across the UK who are facing some really tough challenges, things like poverty, mental health struggles, and instability at home.

💚 Let’s keep the spirit going: check out more about Children in Need and how you can help here → bbcchildreninneed.co.uk

Bonfire Night Safety in Glasgow South 🔥

Fireworks are fun to watch, but for some older people, they can be loud, cold, and overwhelming.
A few small steps can make a big difference:

Shut windows and draw curtains before dark

Layer up and keep cosy indoors

Offer reassurance or a distraction if the noise causes distress

Our Care Professionals are on hand to help keep your loved ones safe, warm, and supported all winter.
