Description
Mealtimes can be hard for people living with dementia, who often depend on care home staff to eat and drink well, and care at the table varies widely. James Faraday and Annette Hand describe a feasibility study that tests staff training built to improve those mealtimes. The training was shaped with experts by experience, earlier review evidence, and fieldwork in care homes.
Up to thirty staff across several homes receive the training, and the study tracks their sense of competence and their confidence in mealtime care, alongside focus groups on how the course lands. A resident and staff advisory group helped design the study throughout. The work checks recruitment, attendance, and follow-through so that a later full trial can be planned on solid ground.
