First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a nutrition training program for home care workers to help people with dementia eat better at home. Researchers worked with 139 participants, including people with dementia, their families, and care staff, to see if the program was practical and acceptable. The goal was to refine the approach and gather early feedback, not to prove it improves health.
