All above are great ideas. My spouse passed in 2003 with Alzheimer disease and I kept him at home with me. I needed to hire some help at times but could keep a close eye on what was going on with him.
I found finger foods - especially sweets went well wih him. He did lose weight at the very end as the disease finally restricts the ability to swallow food.
However I did have to cut the food and finally go to completely soft foods to get nutrition in. I used glucerna as a supplement as he had some elevated blood sugers.
And too, as I am a nurse and worked in hospitals and extended care facilities, I know about the short staffing and patients at times not eating because of staff lack of attention, with trays removed without being touched. Also sometimes the food is too cool when it is delivered and not warm enough to be tasty.
My best wishes to Christine.
