It is no doubt. Choosing the perfect meal is not easy- when it comes to seniors. They have different levels of nutritional requirements. Generally, the elderly are picky. Most especially if they have a chronic disease. Typically for them not to like their food. In our live-in care services, we witness different episodes of seniors battling with their food demands.
Most of our seniors under our home care in Marlborough, Massachusetts, are diagnosed with diabetes. However, we won’t let their illness take away their joy of eating their food. We make sure that they still enjoy eating their food despite their limited choices.
Our caregivers in our home care services are known to prepare the following healthy picks our seniors enjoy:
- Category of starches: Whole grains like oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa are what we recommend. Aside from whole grains, baked or boiled potatoes are enjoyed by our seniors too.
- For vegetables, fresh and organic are always the best. In preparing, we either serve them raw, if applicable, or steamed, roasted, or grilled. We sometimes do steamed frozen vegetables. Lastly, healthy greens should not be forgotten- such as kales, spinach, and arugula.
- Fruits give us caregivers and the patients so many dilemmas. Some fruits are naturally high in sugar, and some don’t. Those with high in sugar are not good for diabetic persons. Hence, we serve fresh fruit that is low in sugar.
