Are You an Overwhelmed Caregiver? Meal Planning for
Seniors is Easier with These 8 Tips!
If
you are overwhelmed as a caregiver, I am sure that there are
many responsibilities that you have on a day to day basis that add to
your stress. Meal planning for seniors is one way to make your daily
activities more manageable while providing balanced and nutritious meals
for your senior.
Tip
Six: Meal Planning and Mindful Presentation
Cultivating an environment
of mindfulness while preparing food will lessen the stress of meal
preparation. I know from experience that seniors like their mealtimes to be
interesting. I am not just talking about the food, but also the place
setting. Make sure that the environment is conducive to eating by setting the
table or tray with a tablecloth or place mat, napkin, real flatware, nice plates
and bowls, and even a flower if one is available. Paper plates are easy but not
nearly as pleasant as real china.
When you're ready to present
your colorful, attractive meal to your senior, make sure that the lighting is
bright enough so they can see what they are eating. Appetizing meals are an
important part of seniors’ lives and vital to their physical and emotional
well-being.
