Meeting the Nutritional Needs of Seniors in Nashville with the Help of a Home Care Assistant

In Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas, how your home care assistant can support dietary health

Our bodies' requirements vary as we become older. Our physical, mental, emotional, and social health can all be impacted by aging, and seniors must be aware of how to best care for their bodies in order to maintain their health. A home care assistant in Nashville can ensure that your loved one enjoys regular, wholesome meals while also assisting them with meal planning and preparation. Seniors may require special dietary considerations due to their medical conditions or medications. A caregiver can assist you and your elderly loved one in developing a nutritional plan based on their doctor's recommendations and their personal needs. Your caregiver can also assist your loved one with recipe research, recipe substitutions, allergy issues, and other dietary problems. Contact us at (615) 219-5126.

Nutrition assistance from Comfort Keepers makes a big difference

In general, seniors may find it difficult to eat enough food on their own. Seniors on a fixed income, seniors with mobility challenges, and seniors without transportation may have a difficult time finding fresh and varied foods. A caregiver can aid with transportation and other services to ensure that your loved one has access to the meals and other resources that they require.

Our home care assistant dietary recommendations:

• You should never skip a meal. Missing a meal can cause metabolism to be disrupted, which has a variety of effects on the body. It may also make it difficult to digest drugs.
• Water should be consumed on a regular basis and before meals. For many of us, getting enough water to drink is a challenge! A caregiver can ensure that your loved one is reminded to drink water on a regular basis.
• Concentrate on portion amounts rather than the foods you choose. Making healthier choices when we cook or order from a menu sounds like a worthy goal for many of us. However, when we make a large quantity of food or are handed oversized plates from takeout menus or restaurants, we are still consuming an excessive amount of calories.
