Taking one tiny point, despite having a lot of empathy and respect for you for the entire situation...

People with dementia lose their sense of taste until all they can really taste is sweet stuff. Sprinkling regular foods with a little artificial sweetener can increase intake of healthy foods. It sounds gross but it is less gross that eating a lot of stuff that tastes like paste at every meal, no matter how good the food really is.
