“Caregiving 101” Tips on KENS TV–5, San Antonio, Texas
Hosts: Starr Calo–oy
Topic: When Your Loved One Won’t Eat
Broadcast Date: December 7, 2008

When your loved one stops eating, start looking for reasons why they may not be eating.  Are they in pain?  Have their gums shrunk and the dentures are now hurting?  Use a small plate, soft foods v’s spicy v’s crispy, whatever they like.  Cut up steak in the kitchen BEFORE you bring it to them.  Shop together, do a menu together, cook and eat together.  IMPORTANT:  if they are in the dying process, their body may be telling them not to eat – do not try to force them.
