Nutrition for the elderly is very important, this is why their diet must be carefully monitored. As they age, the list of foods that they can’t eat increases, sometimes leaving only food that they don’t want. In cases like these, you should consider alternatives to nursing homes like in-home care. In nursing homes there might be too many patients for their specific dietary needs and preferences to be met, and your parent’s are less likely to voice their concerns. You can better monitor what and how much your parents eat with in-home care. If nutritional problems arise, you can ask the professional caregiver to prepare your parent a meal that is both appetizing and adheres to their dietary requirements. In-home care services like those from The Perfect Home Care, Inc. in Westchester County, NY include meal preparation as part of their services. They can also do some quick grocery shopping if your parents are craving for something they don’t have at home.
