One thing many seniors have trouble with is establishing a healthy diet. This could be due to a lack of appetite, transportation, or issues with their mobility. As a person's physical health changes, their diet typically needs to be adjusted. The problem is that when seniors can no longer handle meal preparation and cooking, maintaining a healthy diet can be difficult.

These services are available on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Our caregivers can help shop for quality fresh produce and healthy meal ingredients and assist seniors in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Branson, Hollister, and surrounding areas in MO with maintaining a healthy diet.

Transportation

As a person ages, things like driving to the store or running errands can become challenging. Our skilled caregivers offer safe transportation to their favorite grocery stores, shopping centers, and anywhere else your loved one needs to go.

Mobility Assistance

Taking care of things like running errands, going shopping, or making it to appointments can prove to be difficult. With one of our caregivers at their side, your loved one will have the confidence needed to go anywhere with the use of their mobility device.

Medication Reminders

Some medications your loved one is taking may have an unpleasant taste or affect their digestion.
