How can I get my mom to eat after a stroke and mild dementia?

Some people loose appetite after a health problem comes up
It would be nice to show more love for her , especially taking turns to be with her. Our parish priest friend before used to give holy communion to my mother, and give her blessings and prayer daily at home.the cause of not wanting to eat was the side effect of med which cause acidity

Has she been assessed by a speach therapist to see if she can safely swallow? If yes, then it may be her disease (stroke). My aunt kept refusing to eat and it took her 24 hour caregiver to be at her side to sneek in sips of special shakes. It was a lot of work and she passed away rather quickly. I am sure that others will offer more suggestions
