How Does Dementia Affect Eating and Drinking?
By Polly Logan, Positive Approach to Care Team Member, and PAC Core Team Members Joanna Fix and Jenn Lee
When someone is living with dementia, the experience of eating and drinking may change for them. Which aspects might shift, and which might remain the same?
We were fortunate enough to be able to speak with two of our friends living with dementia, Joanna Fix and Jenn Lee, to gain their perspectives on this topic. Joanna is living with young-onset Alzheimer Disease, and Jenn is living with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Both Joanna and Jenn are members of the Positive Approach to Care (PAC) Core Team, which is comprised of a group of people living with dementia who participate in our trainings and discussions as both attendees and mentors, to give an authentic and first-hand response to those learning the Snow Approach and Teepa’s methods.
