Food & Drink Support Sheet
Making practical food and drink support workable — without prescribing anything.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
Food and drink support, made practical: what's easy, what's harder, and the small things that make eating and drinking possible on difficult days.
The practical facts
Easiest foods and drinks for me
e.g. Cold items, toast, yoghurt, squash — nothing hot to hold
Things that are harder
e.g. Strong smells; anything needing standing; heavy cutlery
Please avoid
e.g. The extractor fan; cooking smells reaching my room
Helpful
- Small portions
- Easy-open packaging
- A straw
- A lightweight cup
- Food left within reach
- Someone prepares it and brings it
- Minimal smell
- Simple choices — two options, not ten
For whoever's helping
The default easy option
e.g. Beans on toast, squash in the sports bottle — no questions needed
This page is logistics, not a diet. Nothing here prescribes what or how much anyone eats or drinks — it's about access.
