Dinner
I understand now that my mom needs quiet. To much stimuli makes it hard for her to focus. At dinner as long as conversation is at a minimum she will take her pills and eat a full meal. To much conversation and she forgets both.
Mom used to chew every bite until it was disintegrated before she swallowed! We always had the tv on so she wasn't just sitting in the quiet, but sometimes we did have to turn it off so she would focus on her food, that was as the dementia was progressing.
