When it comes to quality of life, people will sometimes say, “Well, they’re still eating, so their quality of life must still be okay.”
And eating is definitely something we look at, but it’s only one piece of the picture.
Are they still moving comfortably?
Are they interacting with you?
Are they able to do the things they normally enjoy?
Are they having more good days than difficult ones?
Quality of life is really about looking at the whole picture, not just one piece of the puzzle.
