Malnutrition is a warning indication of declining independence for most older adults. The inability to eat correctly is shared among the elderly due to several factors, including mobility issues, side effects of medications, chewing difficulty, lack of appetite, and chronic or worsening medical disorders. Conversely, if elders consume inadequate amounts of food or unhealthy foods, their health will deteriorate over time, and any preexisting illnesses will be exacerbated. Their general well-being will be diminished. Family caregivers often call our office to discuss the most frequent difficulties. 

When family caregivers find themselves in these situations, Visiting Angels of Bridgeport are here to offer assistance. Our care team takes the necessary time to create personalized care plans for each client, ensuring that we care for the client's actual needs. We have services used to assist seniors' needs, such as meal preparation; we also find a compatible caregiver who will help them with other activities of daily living.

How a Professional Caregiver from Visiting Angels Bridgeport Can Help Your Parent with Meal Planning and Preparation

Our in-home care organization provides meal preparation and planning services such as creating weekly or monthly menus, grocery shopping, chopping and preparing items, washing dishes, and cleaning the kitchen.

Our caregivers assist the elderly in preparing delicious, home-cooked meals for those unable or unable to do it themselves. You may also ask our caregivers to lend a hand when your loved one would like to help out in the kitchen but needs more assistance.

Seniors requiring special dietary assistance may rely on our staff of highly skilled caregivers. Clients might be helped by their caregivers to stick to their eating plans. Additionally, they may assist seniors with dietary restrictions, such as salt restriction, diabetes management, low-calorie diets, or vegetarianism.

Our team helps our clients get out of their homes, get some fresh air, and exercise their bodies by encouraging them to go shopping with their caregivers at local shops and markets instead of going alone. Grocery shopping can be too much of a chore for many seniors, and Visiting Angels Bridgeport is aware of this. In such a situation, a caretaker will go shopping with the clients and bring them their purchases.

Supporting Visitors Caregivers in Bridgeport can assist those who cannot feed themselves. We also provide elders with meal preparation services, including reminders to drink plenty of fluids. Proper hydration and a balanced diet are essential for our customers.
