If the person has no appetite, try a alteration in mealtime routines. Playing soft music during mealtime has been known to keep people at the dinner table longer. Reducing distraction like TV and serving easily ingested foods may also aid with these Alzheimer activities.

    Driving

    Driving is one of the functions that Alzheimer's disease will inevitably influence as the disease progresses. Safety is going to be the main issue as the person will lose his faculty for driving safely. It is necessary that you talk out these Alzheimer activities with the doctor, but while you're not prepared yet to meet with the doctor, watch out for the following signs:

    * Getting lost
    * Forgetting to use turn signals
    * Confusing the brake pedal and the gas pedal
    * Being confused about directions or detours

    If any of these signs are present, then it's probably best that you do not let the person drive. Be sensitive when you tell the person this and bear in mind that Alzheimer's disease can also impair reasoning ability. Don't try too difficult to convince him or her. A simple statement would do.
