Elderly In-Home Care Options for Seniors in Carlisle, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, PA, and Nearby Cities

By planning each meal, seniors can reduce their risk of falling or having other health issues that could arise from inadequate nutrition. A nutritionally balanced diet helps seniors avoid malnutrition, which can overtax a senior's body and reduce the body's ability to fight infection. Not eating a healthy diet can lead to weight loss and frailty. Planning also ensures no meals are wasted, and enough food is in the refrigerator for the next meal.

However, eating healthy or eating enough throughout the day can be difficult for some seniors. Mobility issues can make it challenging for seniors to get to the kitchen and prepare their dishes. Using cookware can be nearly impossible for seniors who have issues with tremors from Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis. Cognitive problems stemming from dementia can cause seniors to forget that they have something cooking in the oven, creating a safety hazard.

If your loved one struggles with making their meals and other everyday tasks, elderly in-home care options from Visiting Angels Carlisle can provide the support they need to remain home.
