Help for skip in group setting - fella eats breakfast but will not eat lunch. Says he just had lunch. He's slim so I worry. We honor his desire to not eat. Is delaying better or just a change in scenery? Changing his table mates? Other ideas?

A lot of older people with dementia have vision limitations or even hearing issues and I wonder how this further complicates dementia when it comes to dealing with day to day actions, feelings and inclusion in activities and social situations. How can staff or loved ones alter things to help these people feel more comfortable and included. I find that activities directors and aides often do not plan for or address these people when they plan for events and activities.

Can’t we just tell them something like “HEY! Uncle Berry; you have got dementia. Your brains playing tricks on you! You’ve already peed, there are no PEOPLE IN THE CUP. Stop banging on the tables and take shower before I tie you up and wash your like a shorn sheep🤬” And follow through on your promise so they would never forget where not getting a wash would get them.(tied up on the bathroom floor, with soap in their mouth.) Wouldn’t that help fixing the dementia symptoms?
