Swallowing difficulties, known as ‘dysphagia’, are common among older people, particularly those diagnosed with a progressive neurological disease or dementia. Where I work, in Bridgend, Wales, there are 8 registered care homes with a total of 867 residents. Of these, between 50%–75% are at risk of having dysphagia.  On average, the number of referrals from care homes for issues related to swallowing have been increasing annually.
