While everyone who loves a snack will enjoy It’s all about the food not the fork! it is a gift of love especially prepared for older people and people with dementia, swallowing difficulties or other disability, as well as carers. ‘…the question so often asked is for ideas about finger food to give pleasure and nutrient in every bite—particularly for those living with dementia.
