Mealtimes are about much more than just re-fuelling, and the
importance of mealtimes in the care of people with dementia cannot
be overestimated. Using her extensive experience of working with
older people with dementia, Grethe Berg explains how mealtimes can
be used as natural opportunities for meaningful interaction,
socialising and reminiscing, and useful forums for taking part in
familiar tasks. The book considers the social significance of
mealtimes and their role in maintaining patients' feelings of
social attachment and well-being as well as the impact of the
symptoms of dementia on food and mealtimes. It also explores
different types of residential care and how they can make mealtimes
a focus of activity for patients. Finally, the author discusses
practical implementation strategies, considering variables such as
building design, interdisciplinary collaboration, organization of
staff and residents, and staff participation and conduct at
mealtimes. This book provides much-needed help and practical
strategies for care managers and carers to reclaim mealtimes as
positive experiences for people with dementia.
