Getting a loved one to eat
My mother is at home with me. She is 87 and has diabetes, cancer, dementia and irregular heart. She was in a nursing home, but was not cared for so I brought her home. I need advice on how to encourage her to eat. I have tried everything and all she ever wants is scrambled eggs. I give her a nutritional drink, which she takes eagerly. Is there anything you can advise? She has refused now to get out of bed no matter how much I try to encourage her to move. Please help as this is all new to me.
