Nutrition & Meal Preparation
Our Caregivers can support nutrition and diet plans. We also provide assistance with grocery shopping and meal preparation that meets nutritional needs and can accommodate special dietary restrictions.
Seniors are often on a restricted diet. A doctor or a nutritionist may include special dietary needs in their dietary plans, this can include limits on what and how much can be consumed.
Common situations include:
Some medications can have food restrictions or sensitivities associated with them, and physician-created nutrition plans typically account for these sensitivities. Medication timing and doses can be a critical part of a care plan.
Proper nutrition can be an issues for seniors living alone. Moving around the kitchen and lifting, cooking and preparing healthier home-cooked meals are challenging. Its 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 several serious problems if left unchecked. It continues to be one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization among older adults.
