We’ve also created a useful Meal Planner here – it will help you to get organised, eat healthily, avoid waste and organise your day-to-day living. Long term it will give you some control and independence too – it’ll be a handy reference for loved ones to see at a glance what you enjoy eating.

Here are some other tips to help you to eat well:

  • Set a timer to remind you when mealtimes are – and when to drink water, too

  • Try to get to the shops for fresh food – online shopping is convenient, but if you only shop online it will be easy to become isolated. Going to the shops in person involves a bit of exercise, which has positive benefits, too. Ask for help if this is difficult for you.

  • Limit sweet treats. Some people find that their food tastes change when they have dementia. You might start to prefer sweet snacks or desserts over your usual varied diet, for example. The occasional treat is fine, but don’t start to skip meals in favour of biscuits, cakes and ice cream – buy these in limited amounts.

  • Store leftovers properly. It’s common for people to forget about surplus food and leave it out on the side – many foods will cause an upset tummy if not stored properly. A planner will help avoid you buying too much.
