Monitor Dieting & Eating
A home health caregiver from CareBridge may keep track of the elderly person’s eating habits to ensure that they are consuming the proper meals, especially if they have medical dietary restrictions.
According to the National Institute on Aging, adults over 50 should control their calories, restrict sugar and solid fat, and consume a nutritious diet that includes foods from all five food categories. Our CareBridge caregivers are meticulous about serving the proper meal at the right time, including a variety of healthful grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and protein.
What Can a CareBridge Team Do for You?
Seniors may find themselves in a situation where they are responsible for all meal preparation, purchasing, cooking, and cleanup in the kitchen, which can be burdensome.
Our caregivers can assist elders in eating properly by doing the following:
- Make sure there is enough food in the refrigerator by checking and refilling it.
- Remove any expired or outdated food and replace it with nutritious alternatives.
- Assist them in getting at least 45 minutes of exercise every day.
- To keep the meal plan balanced, they shop for nutritional things.
- Prepare healthful meals based on your body’s requirements.
- Encourage your elderly to eat foods that are high in nutrients.
- Helps in avoiding empty calories such as sweets, cake, and drinks.
- Take the senior to his or her favorite restaurant.
- At meals, provide company.
