Meal Planning and Preparation Made Easy with the Help of Expert Home Care Providers from Visiting Angels Eldersburg
Our home care providers help seniors in Eldersburg, Baltimore, Westminster and surrounding Maryland towns eat healthy diets through meal planning and preparation assistance
Many seniors struggle with meal planning and preparation due to chronic conditions, mobility problems, vision issues, appetite loss, side effects from medications and a variety of other reasons. When older adults start struggling with their independence, it is often reflected in poor nutrition: some do not take in enough food needed for optimal functioning, others opt for unhealthy alternatives like TV dinners or other heavily processed types of food.
Proper nutrition is the key to a healthy, high-quality life, especially in senior years when we are faced with health problems and age-related difficulties. This is why you should help your loved one with meal planning and preparation, ensuring they are eating a diet that is good for them. But what if you do not have enough time or live too far away to cook for them every day?
At Visiting Angels in Eldersburg, MD, we have a solution. Our home care providers can assist your loved one with every area of meal preparation, from shopping for groceries at the local store or market, looking for recipes, and preparing ingredients to cooking, doing the dishes, and cleaning the kitchen. With our meal prep assistance, your loved one can enjoy quality meals they like on a daily basis.
How Can Professional Home Care Providers Assist with Meal Planning and Preparation?
Our senior caregivers perform a variety of daily activities to make your loved one’s life easier and help them maintain and increase their independence. Since our services are all personalized to fit the needs of each client, your loved one can receive assistance only with those activities and tasks they are having trouble completing on their own.
For example, if your loved one cannot make their own meals due to some of the challenges of aging or progressive illnesses like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, we can help your loved one cook the meals they enjoy eating. Our home care providers can either prepare the meals for your parent or assist them in the kitchen, whatever works best for them. If your parent needs to follow a special diet to keep an existing condition under control, our caregivers can make healthy, tasty dishes in accordance with their dietary restrictions as well.
For seniors who are not able to go grocery shopping on their own due to medical issues or losing their driver’s license, we offer assistance with grocery shopping too. This service can either include our home care providers doing the shopping on their own or driving your loved one to and from the local store or market.
Our meal planning and preparation program also includes feeding assistance for seniors who are unable to feed themselves as well as fluid reminders for optimal hydration throughout the day.
If you have noticed that your loved one has trouble with any activity related to meal preparation, we can definitely help them eat a healthy, varied diet on a daily basis. To find out more about us and how we can be of assistance to your family, call our Eldersburg, MD office today. We are happy to be of service!
