Eating well plays a big part in living well with dementia 💚

Appetite, tastes and habits can change, but small adjustments can make mealtimes easier and more enjoyable. Try:

- Keeping healthy finger foods like fruit within reach
- Using plain, coloured plates so food stands out clearly
- Serving meals in a calm, quiet space without distractions
- Encouraging a balanced diet with fruit, vegetables, protein and carbohydrates
- Making sure drinks are offered often to prevent dehydration

Good nutrition supports both body and mind. With a little extra thought, mealtimes can remain a positive and comforting part of the day.

Behind every person living with Alzheimer’s is a family member or carer giving so much of themselves. 💚

Caring can be one of the greatest acts of love, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. That is why support for families is so important:

✔️ Accept offers of help. You do not have to do everything alone
✔️ Take regular breaks and consider respite care when you need time to recharge
✔️ Join support groups to share experiences and feel understood
✔️ Look after your own wellbeing just as much as your loved one’s

With the right care and encouragement, families can continue to enjoy meaningful time together, focusing on moments that matter rather than carrying the load alone.

Our Care Professionals are here to help, offering companionship, practical support and specialist dementia care so that you and your loved one feel supported every step of the way. 💚
