The Importance of Nutrition
March is National Nutrition Month and a good time to remember that food is a source of joy for many people, including those with dementia. However, it can also be a challenging aspect of life for your loved one with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Learn how to make meal time better for both caregiver and care recipient.
