Meal-Time Tips: Handling Picky Seniors

Getting your seniors to eat a balanced diet can be a major source of frustration for family caregivers. In fact, getting an elderly loved one to eat anything at all is an entire endeavor in and of itself. Even seasoned caregivers here at Reassurance Home Care Services occasionally get a hard time convincing a patient to eat their meals.

There are many reasons why your senior’s eating habits have changed. These can include a weakened sense of taste and smell, side effects of their medication, difficulty with chewing and swallowing, depression, or a reluctance to dine alone.

If your loved one has difficulty in chewing and swallowing, our home care services are the best solutions to help lift some of the burdens. Our aides can drop by your home and help your loved one when eating their meals and taking their medicines.
