I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I think she should still have her ice cream but whoever is the on-hands person providing her care can perhaps switch to ice cream bars or sandwiches so that she has a finite amount she can eat at a time (and hide the rest from her). Also consider frozen yogurt or non-dairy ones (there are some tasty ones out there). Would she eat a sundae? Like adding a fresh banana and nuts to one bowl a day?
More info would be helpful.
good luck!!
Let her eat what she wants. Why prolong her life?
I better not have either of my children tell me what I should or shouldn't be eating when I get older. Heck they better not try telling me now at my young age of 65.
One of the ladies in my caregiver support group whose mother lived to be 102, shares often how her mother who had Alzheimer's, lived on just ice-cream and cashews for the last 5 years of her life.
Now that is the kind of a diet that I want to be on the last 5 years of my life. I'm just saying.
The office will handle it.
Id say actually my mom loves her ice cream and dairy, but in long term it caused me more work because her blood test kept coming back, high calcium, so then cut back more blood work.
So I'm sure cutting her back is a good idea. Sure let them eat what they enjoy to a point.
As for how honestly I have no answers, hopefully others have some good ideas later.
Again so sorry, don't leave us because of someone having a very bad night
Imagine what a nurse does in a hospital.. Or an kitchen assistant in an aged care home.
I think I would serve a second helping of icecream - if asked for it. But that's it. Just as I did for my kids & birthday cake.
Does the issue need to go deeper? I don't think so.
So many people with dementia/ Alzheimer’s or brain injures love love love icecream.
Factors can make people lose their own 'reasonable amount limit'.
Fauty short term memory is a big factor, unable to process appetite messages being sent to the brain, is another. Impulse control - another big factor.
I don't care about the arguement
of: someone is elderly let them eat whatever vs better nutrician argument.
Just go with common sense.
To regulate it, I would buy the icecream in smaller containers, keep the stock in a small hidden freezer, and bring out a new one a while after she has finished the last. 'Sorry, we've run out - can you make this last tonight?'
