If mealtimes seem different, your observations may help the team understand what the person is experiencing.
A change in appetite or mealtime experience is worth discussing with the care team. Describe what you have noticed rather than deciding the cause yourself.
A practical way to begin
Food preferences, support needs and health concerns may require different responses. Do not alter a prescribed diet, supplements or swallowing plan based on general information from this website.
Your discussion checklist
- Note the change and approximate timing
- Ask the person about their experience
- Raise the concern directly with the team
- Ask whether professional review is needed
Before you take the next step
Agree who will follow up and how you will hear about the next step, subject to the person’s privacy arrangements. Seek urgent professional help where the situation requires it.
