Episode 67: Weight Loss and Dementia

Weight loss in people living with dementia can stem from a variety of causes: the need for more help or supervision; being too sedated to properly eat; pacing and unable to sit still to consume a meal; or refusing to eat. In this episode, I provide approaches for all of these causes and provide strategies if your family member is refusing to eat.

If you live in the Birmingham, AL area, Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church will be hosting a gathering for caregivers of people living with FTD to assess interest in a support group. This gathering will be Tuesday, Dec 6 6pm-8pm at 2061 Kentucky Avenue, Vestavia, Alabama. See you there!
