All About Feeding Older People

Whether they’re living at home or in a long term care residence, older people frequently require assistance with their meals. They may be unable to feed themselves because of overall weakness, paralysis, or confusion. Or they may be able to feed themselves, but will need help preparing their meal trays. You can have a major impact on an older person’s nutrition by knowing how to provide assistance and encouragement at mealtime. The primary goal of this book is to assist the caregiver by providing practical tips, guidelines and methods to feed older people effectively. - About the publisher: Mediscript Communications was founded in 1996 by a management team of marketing executives, writers, nurse educators, psychologists and distribution companies to provide a unique and effective style of publications, empowering readers and patients, through interaction, personalization and subsequent relevance.
