Senior Nutrition & Meal Prep

Our caregivers can support physician-prescribed nutrition and diet plans. We also provide assistance with grocery shopping and meal preparation that meets nutritional needs or accommodates special dietary restrictions. We keep our eyes on all body signs to help the medical team work to improve them health.
It is common for seniors to be on a restricted diet for many reasons. A doctor or a nutritionist may include special dietary needs in a wellness plan, which can include limits on what can be consumed, or in what quantities.

Common situations include:
– Different medications can have food restrictions or sensitivities.
– Timing of medication doses can be a critical part of a care plan, especially if a senior is dealing with physical limitations or memory loss.
– Proper nutrition can be an issue for seniors living alone.
– Moving around the kitchen and lifting pots and pans may be harder than it once was, and as a result, healthier home-cooked meals are challenging. Instead, those meals may be substituted with fast food, packaged food, or simply less calorie consumption. It’s especially important for the elderly to consume enough calories and the right nutrients to avoid obesity, excessive weight loss, and dehydration.
– Dehydration can lead to a number of serious problems if left unchecked. It continues to be one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization among older adults. Them are far way to take eight 8 ounce glasses as considered the standard when it comes to proper daily intake.
– Whether someone is seeking help following a special diet or looking for companionship in the kitchen, our caregivers can provide all assistance necessary to make mealtime healthy and enjoyable.
