Abstract
In an aging society, recognizing the needs of seniors is extremely important. As a result of the physiological aging process progressing with age, we observe increasing limitations in the daily functioning of individuals. For caregivers of the elderly, it is important to be aware of these changes. Disturbances in the swallowing process also intensify with age. Choosing appropriate swallowing therapy methods for the elderly and providing proper instructions for feeding food and drinks can limit the risk of negative health consequences and improve the comfort of life for seniors.
Key words:
swallowing, presbyphagia, senior
