How Expert Home Care Providers from Visiting Angels Central Coast Can Help Your Loved One Eat a Healthy Diet with Meal Preparation Assistance

Home care providers from Visiting Angels help seniors in Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz and Marina, CA eat healthy by assisting with planning and preparing meals

One of the first signs that your loved one may need senior care provided by a professional agency like Visiting Angels Central Coast is the inability to feed themselves; that is, eat a healthy diet that can boost their overall well-being.

Older adults may be unable to prepare nutritious meals for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to reduced appetite, medication side effects, chronic conditions and mobility issues. As a result, a lot of seniors eat junk or heavily processed food, which can affect their health and worsen existing conditions.

Proper nutrition in senior years is of vital importance for maintaining a high quality of life and managing illnesses, so making sure your loved one is eating a diet that is good for them should be your top priority. The problem is – what if you cannot always be there to help them with meal prep?

At Visiting Angels Central Coast, we can help. Our expert home care providers can ensure your loved one is eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet. They can go shop for groceries at the local store or market, plan weekly meals, prepare healthy delicious in accordance with your loved one’s taste, keep them company during meal time, clean the kitchen, and much more. With us, your loved one can enjoy health-boosting meals without sacrificing taste and have someone around while they are eating, which adds a social component to meal time.

How Our Home Care Providers Help with Meal Planning and Preparation

If you are worried that your loved one is not eating enough food or that they are eating food that is not good for them, we can build a care plan with your family that includes only those services they need to maintain their independence.

What is important to keep in mind is that our caregivers can either perform meal prep activities on their own or assist your loved one.
