This 4 part series will cover various topics related to dementia and nutrition. As dementia progresses, many individuals with dementia and their care partners experience significant dietary and feeding challenges that may contribute to reduced dietary intake, malnutrition, an increased risk of frailty and disability, and a decreased quality of life.
Through this educational series, participants will gain a greater awareness of nutritional needs, eating challenges and practical strategies in caring for individuals with dementia.
This live webinar is presented by a special guest in collaboration with South Riverdale Community Health Centre.
