@mnitchke Is there a reason you have to expose yourself and your wife to this intolerable community eating circus? Would it be possible to prepare a "picnic" to be taken with you? Could you have the meal in an outside area, her room or other semi-private area?

My wife needs to have her food minced due to swallowing difficulties. I can't supply that by myself. Also because she is under weight the home measures her intake of food to better be able to make changes to her diet if needed. The dining room staff (PSW's) know of my frustration and sympathize with me but they cannot offer another solution right now. As long as I stay clear at meal times I am OK. That means they have to feed her. I sometimes think that this is as close to being 'mentally ill' as it gets without that other stigma. This one's bad enough however.
