Description

Typically, around 85% of people will experience swallowing problems medically known as dysphasia at the end of life. Your loved ones or the people you care for can have trouble swallowing food, liquids, or both. This is a 4-part series on Alzheimer’s Care and Swallowing Problems, and this episode is focused on Modifying Textures + Flavor Building. In Part 1, I talked about The Basics of Swallowing Problems. In Part 3, I will review what Adaptive Equipment is and how to use it; and In Part 4, I will talk about how to maximize independence in eating.
