Dementia is a disease characterised by losses in all areas of life. Gradually, the mental and physical abilities necessary for eating are lost and this also has an impact on people's eating and drinking behaviour. But what nutritional problems are there in old age and with dementia? How can relatives play their part? The event promises practical answers, including a talk, hands-on activities and tastings.
