Meal Planning Services for Seniors in Santa Cruz

The process of planning meals and cooking food becomes much more difficult when you get older. It takes time, patience, and energy that many seniors don’t have anymore. Pacific Angels Home Care is here to make this task much simpler by providing helpful meal planning for seniors as well as meal preparation.

The physical challenges that elderly individuals face when it comes to planning out their meals is often enough to make them avoid it altogether. They then choose to either skip eating or simply order fast food that is unhealthy and detrimental to their health.

We understand the assistance that seniors need for meal planning and prep, along with the encouragement to eat healthy, wholesome foods. That’s why our in-home care providers also help with elderly meal planning.

Importance of Maintaining a Proper Diet

Elderly individuals need specific nutrients to maintain a healthy lifestyle and body. Among other things, the most important aspects of a proper diet for seniors include fiber, protein, calcium, omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D. We consider these factors as part of our meal planning for seniors.

Members of our staff will also follow the dietary restrictions and recommendations provided by your loved one’s healthcare provider to ensure each meal fits their precise nutritional needs. We’ll make sure your family member is receiving proper nourishment as well as staying hydrated through our effective meal prep for seniors.

Nutritious food helps keeps the mind sharp. Elderly individuals will see increased mental awareness, better memory, and higher brain health.

Healthy seniors will have a better chance of avoiding sickness, infection, and other diseases. They will also recover from illnesses more quickly.

From their kidneys and liver to their eyes and their digestive system, healthy meals make all of these organs work more effectively.

As their reflexes slow down, seniors are more likely to stumble or fall. With proper nutrition, they can be stronger, avoid fractures, and have better mobility.
