When Eating and Drinking Begin to Change

Changes in eating and drinking can be one of the most difficult parts of caring for someone with an advanced illness or changing health needs.

Families often find themselves unsure about what to offer, how much to encourage, and what changes in eating or drinking may mean.

What foods are most comfortable?

Choosing foods and textures based on comfort, preferences, and changing needs 

How much should I encourage?

What does coughing or fatigue mean?

When should I stop offering food or drinks?

Following your loved one's cues rather than focusing on how much they eat or drink.

Understanding changes you may notice and what they may mean for comfort.

Recognizing when rest and comfort may need to come before eating or drinking.
