How Home Care Options for Seniors from Visiting Angels Annapolis Can Help Seniors Eat Right
As important as it is for seniors to eat healthy, age-related difficulties can make this a challenge for some. Mobility issues like MS and Parkinson's can make it hard to use cookware and utensils in order to prepare meals, while cognitive issues can make seniors prone to forgetting meals. In addition, since many seniors may favor dishes that are familiar and bring them comfort in later years, they may choose to eat foods that are unhealthy.
That's why when providing home care options for seniors, we make sure to focus on planning and preparing meals that your loved one will enjoy eating and will be nutritious and boost their well-being.
Meal Planning
Our caregivers first get to know your loved one in order to gain a better insight into their dietary regimen, limitations, and preferences. Then they can proceed to plan weekly menus that are in accordance with their nutritional needs.
Assistance with Meal Preparation
If your loved one enjoys cooking, they can be involved in the recipe selection process. This can also be a fun activity and a great opportunity for bonding. Again, if your parent likes to spend time in the kitchen, they can also participate in meal prep – but if they do not wish to chop, dice, and slice, our caregivers will do it on their own.
Home care options for seniors from Visiting Angels Annapolis also include providing meaningful companionship. Our caregivers can additionally keep your loved one company during meal time, transforming it from a routine daily activity into a pleasant social activity.
Naturally, our caregivers will wash the dishes and clean the kitchen after cooking, leaving it in a spotless condition. This is very important because a clean, well-organized kitchen is also a safe kitchen.
Help with Grocery Shopping
In addition to these meal-prepping tasks, our home care options for seniors also include helping clients with shopping for groceries. If your loved one is in the mood but have trouble with driving, our caregivers can provide transportation. We encourage this because grocery shopping presents an opportunity for physical and social activity. On the other hand, if your loved one has other plans, our caregivers can shop on their own and deliver the groceries to your parent’s home. Our care providers can use any provided coupons in order to spend less money on shopping. In addition, we can pick up any online grocery orders your loved one has placed so they can stay safe in their own home.
With home care options for seniors from Visiting Angels Annapolis, your loved one can truly enjoy a diet that is good for them and reap all the benefits that come with proper nutrition.
