that's not good
seriously, if possible, I would be sitting with her and making sure she eats just like if she were 3 years old , every meal
or a nurse
That's what I ended up having to do with my mum. The phone would ring, or the doorbell, or the dog would look at her or something, and she'd immediately drop what she was doing and want to attend to it. I had to be a bit of a bouncer with people. She was the sort of person who used to have dinner at the same time every day too, you'd think people would have some damn brains.
