Seniors' diminishing independence may be detected early on by observing signs of malnutrition. Many things might contribute to a senior not eating enough, including long-term health issues, mobility issues, side effects of medications, chewing difficulty, lack of appetite, and other medical problems. Conversely, declining health, exacerbation of illnesses, and diminished general well-being may occur when elders consume inadequate or incorrect food. For these and other reasons, we stress to families the need to ensure their elderly loved ones eat nutritious, balanced meals.

Visiting Angels of Anderson's caring staff can alleviate anxieties about a loved one's eating habits. We locate a suitable caregiver who can assist with various ADLs, and we take the time to design an individualized in-home care plan based on each client's specific requirements, including meal preparation.

How Caregivers Assist with Planning and Preparing Meals in Anderson, Pendleton, Muncie, IN, and Nearby Cities

Our meal planning and preparation services include grocery shopping, ingredient preparation for cooking, dishwashing, kitchen cleaning, and weekly or monthly menu development assistance.

Our care business can provide a warm supper for a loved one who doesn't want to cook alone or cannot eat for themselves. They may also be accessible should your loved one need assistance with a new recipe but cannot do it independently.

Additionally, a highly skilled Visiting Angels caregiver assists customers with a specific diet. From low-calorie to vegetarian, caregivers help seniors who must cut or restrict their salt consumption follow any other dietary plan or consume a particular diet to keep their diabetes under control.

Rather than traveling alone, we advise our customers to bring a caregiver to neighborhood markets or supermarkets. This lets elders leave the home, get fresh air, and exercise. Therefore, our home care professionals may also go grocery shopping alone, purchase the foods their customers need, and bring them home, as we know not all of our clients can do this.

Our visiting angels may provide feeding aid when customers cannot feed themselves. We also ensure our customers are nourished and hydrated by including fluid consumption reminders in our meal preparation offerings.
