Why is food so important in senior living? We’re glad you asked.
Good nutrition is essential for people of any age. For seniors especially, delicious and balanced meals become crucial for maintaining health and increasing the quality of life. One of the most enticing parts about our assisted living is that residents no longer have to prepare their meals and can enjoy restaurant-style dining and grab-and-go snacks at their convenience.
People with dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, and other forms of memory impairment often find it difficult to use silverware, chew, and swallow. Memory challenges can cause distractions and result in low interest in mealtimes or sudden food aversions. Forgetting to eat in a timely fashion may also result in poor nutrition. Here’s where our certified memory caregivers and staff come in: we understand these challenges and collaborate with our families to provide a multi-sensory dietary plan that is enjoyable and optimally nutritious. We help identify the right dining setting for your loved one to ensure that mealtimes are successful and enjoyable. We offer palatable menu choices and honor our residents’ dietary preferences.
