Eating a well-balanced meal is very important at every stage of life and even small dietary improvements can make a positive impact on how our elderly clients feel. A variety of nutritional problems can arise, however, as people age, some elderly have difficulty feeding themselves. Others have problems with chewing and digesting, difficulty tasting and smelling, or experience a loss of appetite. Many elderly simply do not like to eat alone.
Our caregivers/aids assist certain clients to stay on their prescribed diets to prevent or control a wide range of medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Thus, our caregivers/aids assist clients to eat nutritious diets to promote disease prevention, healing, and healthy living. We strive to turn meals into enjoyable social time by engaging our clients in conversations over food.
