My husband has Parkinson disease, dementia and has a history of strokes. He had another stroke last week which effected his right side. He is at the advance stage of Parkinson, whereas, his throat muscle has become very weak (dysphagia). The speech pathologist recommended all his food be pureed. Since he's been at home I've pureed his food. Cooking and Pureeing his meals have been challenging, so I was wondering are there any places that I could purchase food already pureed other than baby food.
Any assistance you can provide me, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ann
Can the Speech Therapist provide recommendations? (I would assume they have a list?) Hospitals & nursing homes buy in bulk but they may advise the brand names? Call them & see if they sell retail as well.
I really liked my stick blender for whizzing up smoothies, soups and stews, I found it so much more convenient than transferring to a blender.
This is what he ate most of the time. Other times I would make Cream of Wheat and when it was almost done I would crack an egg or two on the top and finish cooking it. Easy for him to eat and extra protein with the egg.
Making meals in advance and freezing them is much easier than pureeing each individual meal when you make it. And I would not bother pureeing each individual food item.
