Meal Preparation Assistance for Seniors in and Around Raleigh, NC
Even people who are at a healthy weight might still be malnourished; unfortunately, this is a prevalent problem among the elderly. Seniors may not eat enough throughout the day, have trouble with cooking meals or choose options that aren't very healthy. What is most concerning about this is that undernourishment often contributes to or exacerbates chronic illnesses and age-related issues that many elderly people are already dealing with.
This is why our home care services at Visiting Angels of Raleigh include helping seniors in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Fuquay-Varina, and throughout Wake County, NC with meal planning and preparation. If you have concerns about your loved one's eating habits or their ability to make their own meals, our personal care assistants can make it easier for them to develop healthy eating habits.

- If your loved one has trouble with short-term or long-term memory, they may have trouble with remembering recipes or where they've put certain kitchen gadgets
- If your loved one has Parkinson's, MS, or a similar condition that affects their motor skills, it may be physically challenging to prepare meals
