Eldercare Illuminated

Do you take care of someone who can’t eat or won’t eat? Eating is one of life’s pleasures, but sometimes illness gets in the way. For caregivers, this can be a major frustration. In this episode of Eldercare Illuminated, Torchlight Eldercare Practice Leader, Lenore Tracey, chats with chef and author Hannah Duncan Tays. Hannah’s experience caring for her mother taught her a lot about how expectations and practices at the family dinner table can change drastically when a loved one becomes ill or incapacitated. Tune in to learn how to make a meal appetizing for someone with little or no appetite, as well as how to add calories and when calories are more important than nutrients.
