Consideration for Dietary Needs with In-Home Care

Our Aqua Home Care team has had the pleasure of referring in-home caregivers to individuals seeking support at home for many years. Trusted caregivers from our registry are able to meet in-home care needs in every way. Services at home can include cleaning, transportation, medication reminders, pet care, personal hygiene, mobility assistance and more. We are committed to helping people find the support they need in order to stay comfortable in their own homes. Among the many services one can benefit from, meal preparation is a vital source of support offered. 

Eating well and eating every day on schedule helps to sustain nutritional wellness and ward off nutritional deficiencies. When the body receives proper nutrition it is able to function more optimally which can improve quality of life. If meal preparation is something you would like to have in your tailored care plan, we are able to match you with a caregiver who can help. While food consumption may be something we simply do rather than think much about, some circumstances require more attention to this daily routine. Such cases may include:

• Those with diabetes – The importance of eating on schedule and according to your doctor’s orders is key to maintaining healthy sugar levels.
• Those with dietary restrictions – If you are on a special diet due to weight management, recovery from surgery, or other condition or medical reason, it is necessary to make sure your dietary needs are being met.
• Those with Alzheimer’s or Dementia – when memory loss occurs one may not remember the last time they ate or when to eat their next meal. Proper cooking of each meal may also be an issue.
• Those with food allergies – Certain foods may simply be off limits due to the allergic reactions they can cause.

There are several things we can do to stay on a healthy path, and eating well is at the top of the list. Aqua Home Care can help you find the assistance you need that ensures dietary needs are met, whatever they may be. Quality care that promotes safety, comfort and wellness is something our Aqua Home Care team is committed to finding for those seeking support at home.
