2013-10-30 06:54:13 PM carolynlnig As long as the family member is doing the feeding or giving the food they should not give, you cannot be blamed. But don't let them leave any in the resident's room

2013-10-30 06:55:50 PM kelsey827 our other resident on hospice went to thickened and she stopped drinking her beloved tea bc she couldnt stand teh texture
2013-10-30 06:55:55 PM caronda we do too.. thincken liquids will be the death of me.. a resident almost tricked me into giving him tea
2013-10-30 06:55:56 PM lindseyj how does she know her mom wants cookies..? she told her?
2013-10-30 06:56:00 PM kelsey827 they actually had to put her back on regular just to get her to drink
2013-10-30 06:56:07 PM dtracie11 oh man! they will!!
2013-10-30 06:56:15 PM cchase you could use thicken
2013-10-30 06:56:19 PM kelsey827 that one isnt dementia. she is just failing
2013-10-30 06:56:20 PM cchase in the tea

2013-10-30 06:57:40 PM meg does thicken replace solids?
2013-10-30 06:57:45 PM kelsey827 no
2013-10-30 06:57:46 PM cchase no[e
2013-10-30 06:57:48 PM dtracie11 yeah. not good but you can get it pre mixed and that tastes better
2013-10-30 06:57:50 PM kelsey827 puree would replace solids
2013-10-30 06:57:50 PM cchase nope
2013-10-30 06:57:52 PM dtracie11 no.
2013-10-30 06:57:53 PM lindseyj yeah, jello, applesauce
2013-10-30 06:57:56 PM caronda powder or whole
2013-10-30 06:58:01 PM kelsey827 thicken makes a thin liquid safe for a resident with trouble swalliwing, to drink
2013-10-30 06:58:11 PM lindseyj the ticken liquids podwer is nasty
2013-10-30 06:58:16 PM meg oh ok
2013-10-30 06:58:17 PM lindseyj powder*
2013-10-30 06:58:18 PM dtracie11 the powder is not as good as the premixed
2013-10-30 06:58:29 PM caronda awe
2013-10-30 06:58:38 PM dtracie11 we do the mechanical and puree diet and those work too
2013-10-30 06:58:39 PM cchase yes it tastes a little nasty
2013-10-30 06:58:56 PM kelsey827 a man at mens breakfast who is new is on thickened and they have thickened coffee pre mixed packets and then those thickened milks that go in
2013-10-30 06:58:56 PM pawood looks bad too
2013-10-30 06:59:03 PM kelsey827 yeah its not appealing
2013-10-30 06:59:04 PM meg it does not sound good
2013-10-30 06:59:05 PM cchase probably why she will not drink the tea
2013-10-30 06:59:08 PM dtracie11 yep
2013-10-30 06:59:13 PM caronda has anyone tried a test tray from the cafe

2013-10-30 06:59:58 PM dtracie11 lol true
2013-10-30 07:00:04 PM kelsey827 the only thing she could remember is..... what time is it. where are we. when are we gonna eat. can i have a cup of tea. wheres my tea. and when her son would come she would stary crying. she has cataracts the worse i have ever seen and she cant see anything... but boy would she cry when he came
2013-10-30 07:00:09 PM caronda Do I need to get a list from the kitchen on diets
2013-10-30 07:00:18 PM carolynlnig The powder seems to thicken more the longer it sits, if you are not careful
2013-10-30 07:00:19 PM kelsey827 she may pass tonight, they were looking for someone to sit with her tonight so she wouldnt pass alone
2013-10-30 07:00:26 PM kelsey827 yes it does thicken the longer it sits
2013-10-30 07:00:32 PM dtracie11 there are only 3. but it s a good idea, or your dietician
2013-10-30 07:00:39 PM kelsey827 learned that one day when i made a pasty water for someone
2013-10-30 07:00:41 PM cchase you absolutely need to know about diets
2013-10-30 07:00:52 PM scalabrese yes very important!
2013-10-30 07:00:53 PM dtracie11 because they can provide adaptive equipment also
2013-10-30 07:00:56 PM kelsey827 it takes longer in the cold drinks but it works
