Is there any medicine or some way to slow dementia down?

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

Unfortunately, no. There are some medications out there for dementia but they only help by trying to get more messages across the synaptic connections in the brain. They do not treat or prevent the disease.

@@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers Is there a way to help or encourage our LO to eat? My mom has off and on days with good. I don’t understand the off days. Her stomach growls but says it’s too much food. Besides drinks like Ensure is there any other great drinks or foods out there? What about the muscle drinks or weight gain drinks? Thank you.

Offer snacks during the day, even if it's just sweets.
