Assisted-living, memory care: How did you find a good facility?

An aide once told me that when you develop a dementia, you start to lose your sense of taste. And the last kind of taste you have is the taste for sweetness. I don’t know. My husband always had a sweet tooth. And he loved his Hostess goodies.

That is so interesting. My father, who is a smoker (so that can have an effect for sure), and who also has sinus issues, is much the same. No dementia diagnosis, but he is always complaining about the food I make having no taste—like hospital food. And honestly, although I do not make spicy food for him due to digestive effects, I put a lot of seasonings in everything! He, too, loves Hostess Cupcakes and always has a supply in his room!
