The Christmas Visit

We went to visit my uncle who has Alzheimer's at his long term care home. We always make sure his devoted partner is there. He doesn't say much now, compared to last year but that is to be expected. We took a poinsettia plant to brighten his room. His partner says he is only taking semi solid foods now as he has trouble swallowing. His water is a thickened water. The solids are softened.

I found these interesting articles concerning dysphagia (trouble swallowing) and on how seniors can use the 5 senses of food.
