Good nutrition is important at any age, especially as we age. However, eating well isn’t always easy for seniors. Most people are surprised how many seniors are malnourished across America. Unfortunately, there are an estimated 3.7 million malnourished seniors in the United States, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. The good news is that there are grocery shopping and meal preparation services to help seniors who want to remain at home rather than moving to a senior living community.
In-Home Meal Preparation for Seniors in Greater Portland
Our caregivers can prepare meals for you at breakfast, lunch, and dinner based on your specific dietary needs and palette preferences. Your chosen caregiver will be educated on how to prepare meals for seniors that meet your specific nutritional needs while tasting delicious. They will help create a shopping list, go to the grocery store, bring the food back to your house, and put it away until it’s time to cook and prepare your meal.
Your caregiver can also assist with picking up prescriptions, organizing incoming mail, and going to the post office, and any routine personal errands you or a loved one might require. We tailor grocery shopping and meal preparation services to fit your needs, whether it’s one morning a week or around-the-clock. Our in-home senior services are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day in Greater Portland. We are happy to customize our grocery shopping and in-home meal preparation services to your needs and schedule!
Not a Senior? Not a Problem!
Our in-home meal preparation services are not just for seniors. We also provide meal preparation service for younger clients in need of assistance. These young clients may all have a different diagnosis. For example, a 26-year-old dealing with cancer, a 27-year-old who fell off his mountain bike right out of college and is now a quadriplegic, a 36-year-old who had a massive stroke during surgery and is now bed-bound with high acuity needs, or any number of patients suffering from illnesses ranging from massive strokes to cancer.
