The Importance of Healthy Eating for Seniors

Although it’s important for everyone to consider what they’re eating, seniors should definitely be conscientious about their diet. Many seniors are prone to health issues as they age, and a healthy, well-balanced diet can strengthen their bodies and reduce the chances of developing chronic health issues or deficiencies.

However, it's not always easy for older adults to eat healthy. Age-related mobility issues can make it hard to prepare meals or shop for groceries, while cognitive issues like dementia can make it difficult to even remember to eat. Some seniors may choose to eat microwavable meals because they’re easier to prepare, but these dishes are usually less healthy than a home-cooked meal. 

If your loved one is starting to lose a concerning amount of weight or you’re starting to get worried about the food they eat, don’t hesitate to contact Senior Home Care by Angels, Cambridge & Guelph. Our home care companions can help your loved one with planning and preparing nutritious meals and snacks in order to boost their overall health.

How Our Caregivers Help Seniors with Planning and Preparing Meals

Through meal planning and preparation, our goal is to help seniors make healthy choices in their diet and assist them with preparing foods that will improve their overall well-being.

At Senior Home Care by Angels Cambridge & Guelph, our meal planning and preparation services include:

• Planning meals ahead of time in order to make preparation easier
• Planning meals for the week or month to make grocery shopping easier
• Preparing delicious and nutritious snacks throughout the day
• Assisting with grocery shopping and picking up online grocery orders
• Assisting with preparing meals - including getting out cookware and utensils, assisting with cooking, and setting the table
• Storing leftovers
• Washing dishes
• Feeding assistance for seniors with Parkinson's or mobility issues
• And more

We offer a personalized approach to in-home care. That means whether your loved one needs an in-home caregiver to help them get to the grocery store or someone who can prepare nutritious home-cooked meals, we can create a care plan that includes the care they truly need. A personalized approach can also be beneficial as an individual's care needs change. For example, if your loved one has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, we can adapt their care plan to include feeding assistance if they're no longer able to steadily grasp eating utensils during meals.

Our goal is to provide the support older adults need to age in place in safety and comfort. With meal planning and preparation assistance, seniors can get the vitamins and nutrients they need from a balanced diet and eat at consistent times throughout the day. That way, families can have total peace of mind.

 

At Senior Home Care by Angels, Cambridge & Guelph, we want to give you peace of mind that your loved one is in good hands. With meal planning and preparation, your loved one will receive the support they need to keep their strength up and live out their golden years at home. To learn more about how our home care companions can help, contact our office today!
