Meal Planning and Preparation in Westerville, OH, and Nearby Areas

As a result of age-related challenges, many seniors – both overweight and underweight – are malnourished. Malnutrition is a serious health concern for aging adults because it can aggravate existing chronic conditions or trigger new health problems. Knowing just how many seniors struggle with eating a healthy diet, at Visiting Angels of Westerville, we have included meal planning and preparation in our at-home senior care services.

• A caregiver can also store leftovers, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen and take out the trash 

Why Healthy Eating Can Be Challenging for Older Adults

There are many reasons why seniors become malnourished. The most common ones are:

Mobility issues

With the loss of mobility and strength, seniors are unable to perform many daily tasks, including going grocery shopping and preparing food.

Convenient food options

When seniors are unable to easily move around or no longer drive, many of them choose convenience over health and start eating unhealthy fast food and frozen TV dinners. While affordable, these foods are packed with salt and other unhealthy ingredients that can only worsen health and well-being.

Lack of appetite

Seniors often lose their appetite due to medication side effects or mental health issues like depression and loneliness.
