Mum gets extra care to help with eating

Available for over a year

Andrew's relieved - and very impressed - as an extended care package starts within days of Mum's latest problems. She's struggling with chewing and swallowing and will now have longer visits so carers will be able to sit with her while she eats. The social worker recommended them, the care company said yes, the speech and language therapist gave really useful advice about a 'minced and moist' diet and a council worker - working from home on a Sunday - made it all happen. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
