The Problem with Senior Diet Programs

As people reach an older age, they tend to become pickier with their food. Most times, they experience different physical conditions that set them back with limits with their diets. Some have difficulty chewing and swallowing while others have physical ailments like high blood pressure that prevent them from eating their favorite food.

Meal preparation is a service that ensures older adults they take the proper amount of nutrition through their daily meals with the help of professional carers and nurses. They also introduce a variety of recipes so that seniors can have an increase in appetite.

Ensuring Seniors Appetite

There are many factors why seniors may not eat as often as they should. This may be due to physical limitations, loss of appetite, or repetitive meals. Meal planning and home assistance can address 2 of the problems mentioned earlier but to ensure they get the nutrition they need, a carer should know how to feed them even if the seniors do not feel like eating at all. The secrets to increasing the appetite are to serve the right amount of food portions, make the meal visually appealing, and prepare the meal according to the seniors’ comfortability.

Promoting Safety and Security in Seniors’ Homes

Seniors find comfort in living alone and independently, which is why it is important to make sure their environment is highly secured. One of the most common dangers that seniors encounter is fall. This can lead to possible injuries and even death for some.

The first place to ensure safety is the bathroom, as it is a small area where slips can most possibly happen. Raised toilet seats help those with ambulatory problems. Kitchens should also be free from too many sharps and important materials kept in hard to reach areas. #SeniorCare #LovedOnes #HomeHealth

Why Companionship Means a Lot to Older Adults

Proper nutrition and exercise can make a body become healthy. On the other hand, companionship and socialization can help make minds and emotions healthy. To live a happier and longer life, interacting with a few people a day can lessen the chances of feeling anxious, isolated and depressed. It can even help prevent an older adult from suffering mental illnesses!

Companionship and socialization protect seniors from having dementia because they improve the memory. It also tends to lower risk of heart diseases since happiness encourages healthier lifestyles. #Companion #SeniorCare #LovedOnes

Exercise is important for good health. But intense workout routines (like boxing and CrossFit) can use up a lot of energy. Burning those 800 calories doesn't mean anything if you're ending your session with a cheat meal. Load up on proteins and healthy treats instead.

The Basics of Caregiving

You have heard a lot of things about caregiving. But do you really know what its services are composed of?

1. Personal Care.
Many of you already know about personal care services. This includes helping you take a bath, brush your teeth, remind you about your medication, and prepare your meal.

2. Companionship.
People with old age, disability, or other health problems that cause them to stay at home are more likely to develop feelings of isolation and loneliness. This can lead to depression. To prevent this, caregiving provides companionship services. Caregivers offer their ears, as well as their time to engage in social activities with you (i.e. play board games).

3. Homemaking.
You probably did not know that caregiving also offers homemaking services. Caregivers can assist you with basic household chores, such as doing the laundry, washing the dishes, and wiping the floor.

4. Errands running.
Caregivers can also run errands for you. We can go refill your prescribed medication or shop for your groceries.

At Prima Home Health, we understand that every person has varying needs. We have an assortment of home care services that will suit your needs. To learn more, talk to us at 703-955-7800.
