Aunt B has a new room mate. She came in after surgery and is not expected to live. She is in her 90s. They had been dropping her tray off and leaving her. When I commented I was told that she is dying and does not want to eat. Not true. She just does not have the motor skill to feed herself.
They put her tray within reach the other day and she was trying to drink her pears. I fed them to her and she would open her mouth when ready for the next bite.
I complained for her that she was hungry. They brought her pureed food but did not feed her. I did and notified the nurse that she needed fed.
I could go on and on about this but the thread is for my birdies.
