Comfort Keepers in Lenior City, TN, emphasizes the importance of nutrition as a part of their in-home care

Malnutrition is a problem that as many as one in three seniors may face, and the causes may not be what you might think. It may seem obvious that nutrition might be a problem if your loved one has a problem getting to the store or lives on a fixed income, but these are not the only reasons they may face when getting proper nutrition. Seniors are more sensitive to a poor diet; eating the wrong foods can seriously impact their overall health. The ability to prepare foods may also become a problem, resulting in insufficient nutrition or the tendency to choose foods that are not as balanced and nutritious as they should be. In-home care offered by Comfort Keepers in Lenior City, TN, can get to the root of your loved one’s malnutrition issues and get their diet back on track.

In-Home Care Offers Better Access to Nutritious Foods

In home care to help seniors eat healthy in Lenior City, MI When your loved ones lose the ability to drive, it can seriously impact their health. The ability to get to the grocery store is seriously curtailed, and many seniors do not have access to transportation, let alone the ability to carry home a lot of groceries at one time. This can impact the number of groceries and the type of groceries your loved one chooses to buy. Comfort Keepers in-home care plans include transportation when needed to help your loved one access ample fresh nutritious foods.

Mobility Can Also Affect Nutrition

Many seniors find that as they age, cooking becomes more and more difficult. Accessing the food and equipment in their cupboards may not be as easy as it once was, and standing for long periods of time may also be problematic. Preparing foods becomes difficult for those with arthritis when simple tasks such as opening a jar, cutting up vegetables, or using a can opening become more difficult than they used to be. The logical choice for seniors is to buy pre-prepared foods that simplify and more manageable access.

The problem with this is these foods lack nutrition and balance, meaning your loved one may not get all the nutrition they need. Our caregivers can help ensure your loved ones can access all of their supplies and tools for cooking and teach them techniques to help overcome the challenges that food preparation may cause. By helping with meal preparation, we help ensure they have three balanced meals available regularly. Click one of the buttons below or call (865) 670-9339 for more information.
