When providing elderly care at home for seniors in Broomfield, Westminster and Northglenn, CO, our caregivers make sure our clients eat well with meal planning and preparation services

You are what you eat. That's something we've all heard before. But did you know that this slightly corny expression is crucial for seniors?

Have you ever wondered if your senior loved one is malnourished? This dangerous condition has significantly reduced the quality of life for a large number of elderly people in the Broomfield area and across the country. It happens as a result of a variety of factors that seniors are prone to.

Chronic health conditions are one of the most common factors. Seniors who are dealing with a chronic health condition may find it difficult to maintain a healthy diet. At the same time, seniors experience hunger in a unique way. Many elderly people take appetite suppressing medications. At the same time, chronic health conditions can make them weak and unable to consistently prepare healthy meals for themselves. This, in turn, can aggravate their chronic conditions and even lead to the development of new ones, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. That is why quality elderly care at home should consider a senior's eating habits and ensure they are remembering to eat and getting the nutrition they require.

You can rest easy knowing that your senior parent is consuming healthy meals and following nutritional recommendations on a daily basis thanks to professional elderly care at home from Visiting Angels Broomfield.

What’s Included in Meal Planning and Prep from Visiting Angels Broomfield

Caregivers from Visiting Angels Broomfield can help older adults, including your loved one, make healthy eating a priority. To begin, as professional in-home care providers, we are responsible for assisting your loved one in living their best lives. This means that we provide all of the necessary elderly care at home for them to maintain their independence on a daily basis without ever compromising their safety. We work with seniors to find ways to make proper nutrition a reality for them on their own terms, as it is an important aspect of healthy, independent living. We do not impose our ideas about healthy living on the seniors we work with. Instead, we collaborate with them, their loved ones and those in charge of their healthcare to develop strategies for incorporating healthy habits into their daily routine.

Our home care aides can do a variety of things to make healthy eating more accessible to your parent. This includes:

• Going grocery shopping for or with them
• Picking up grocery orders that were placed online
• Assisting with meal plans
• Preparing nutritious meals and snacks
• Assisting with feeding for seniors who may struggle with feeding themselves due to chronic conditions
• And so much more

Because we treat each of our clients as an individual, our home care programs are tailored to provide the precise level of assistance required. So, whether your loved one requires assistance with meal preparation, grocery shopping or even eating, you can have peace of mind knowing that the care they need is being provided by a caring, dedicated professional.
