Meal Planning

Meal Planning

Effective meal planning is essential to the health and well-being of your elders. Without proper nutrition and healthy eating, elders can have a host of other problems pop up. All of our caregivers have experience in cooking delicious and nutritious food.

As your parent ages, he or she may lose interest in food. If your mother or father lives alone, mealtimes may be lonely. If your parent has a reduced sense of taste or smell, food may seem less appetizing. Medications, too, can take a toll on appetite. For aging parents with physical or mental impairments, difficulties with grocery shopping and preparing meals may be obstacles to good nutrition. Even when seniors do eat well, they may not fully absorb all their nutrients. Meanwhile, our nutritional needs change as we age. It all adds up to special needs—which can be met through a variety of Harmony Home Care’s home care meal services.

Once a senior parent or disabled family member can no longer cook a nourishing meal for themselves, it won’t be long before their health suffers. As part of our home care meal service, our caregivers can prepare complete, nutritionally balanced breakfasts, lunches and dinners with the right portion sizes for good health.
