Lower po intakes at mealtimes may lead to myriad health complications and co-morbidities among those living with dementia. However, newly developed programming addressing the multi-sensory nature of eating and the dining environment may enhance mealtimes for those with dementia. This session will focus on nutrition issues specific to dementia, including nutrients and food components to support cognitive health, issues with dining for those with dementia, and evidence-based sensory techniques for enhancing wellness at mealtimes.
