Important things to consider while preparing a meal for the seniors
The right diet can make all the difference in your loved one’s life. Our caregivers are trained to work with you and provide support when it comes to meals, so they’re here every step together on this journey of love and care.
Many seniors have dietary restrictions such as diabetic diets or low-sodium foods; however, there is hope because our caring staff will develop a healthy meal planning for seniors. They are prepared just right around what tastes good while still meeting nutritional needs.
What is a good dinner for an elderly person?
It’s as simple as asking what they like. Maybe a family dinner would be good, or perhaps they want to have someone cook the meal for them. Dinner can be whatever you and your loved one decide on!
Our caregivers are trained to read the cues from seniors to provide perfect meal preparation assistance that include soups, meatless dishes, salads with different dressings etc. which are easy to digest and are nutritious.
What do the elderly need in a meal?
Eating is essential for aging seniors but remember that many older people have dietary restrictions like diabetes or heart disease. When preparing meals, we try to include the following:
- Foods high in calcium and Vitamin D
- Foods low in sodium
- Foods high in fiber
- Lean proteins
Our caregivers understand it can be challenging to find time to cook with everything else on your plate. You’ll never have to worry about finding food that fits in your beloved family member’s diet needs when our caregivers are there for you!
What kind of food elderly needs the most?
Planning menu meals for seniors at home can be challenging, especially when you have an older person with special dietary needs, but our caregivers can help! When planning a menu for your loved one’s diet, we try to include the following:
- Food that is low in salt and sugar
- Food high in calcium and Vitamin D
- Food that is soft or easy to chew
- Lean proteins
Are bananas good for the elderly?
Yes, bananas are excellent source of potassium, essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure. They can even help improve night vision!
Why are eggs bad for seniors?
Eggs are high in cholesterol, so it is best to be aware of eating. An egg has 185mg of cholesterol, leading to a higher risk of heart disease.
How many eggs should seniors eat a day?
Egg whites are healthy for you, but too much food high in protein can negatively affect your health. Your body can face difficulty digesting protein, so remember not to have too many eggs. A day can be fine up to two eggs while you are making meal prep for seniors.
What foods should an elderly person avoid?
There are different foods that the elderly should avoid. Some include sour cream, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, and more. Remember to be careful when it comes to meal preparation because any of these items may not be appropriate for your loved one’s diet!
Is peanut butter bad for seniors?
Peanut butter is high in Vitamin B and can help promote healthy hair and skin, so it is not bad for the elderly. Just remember to watch out when making smoothies because it could be hard on their dentures!

It was such a pleasure to work with Loving Homecare for my Dad's recovery after his stroke. We needed overnight care for him and Loving Homecare was able to find us the most gentle and caring caregivers we could have wished for. Tanner and Leslie were also there to answer and help whenever questions arose. I would not hesitate to call Loving Homecare again to help with my parents.

After several weeks of caring for my husband at home following a severe leg injury that rendered him immobile and unsafe to be left alone for any extended time, I desperately needed help and some respite. I was referred to Loving Homecare, Inc by a very trusted friend who had used them in the past and referred others who were highly satisfied with every aspect of their care and services. Tanner Gish and his team could not have been more responsive and caring.

VETERAN FRIENDLY 🇺🇸 as a Veteran I am skeptical of any business that says they are Military friendly but Loving Homecare lives up to their name.
Years ago I sent a Family Friend, who is a Combat Veteran, to this business. I only heard positive things. Loving Homecare is approved by the VA and I highly encourage any person, Veteran or not, to call and try out their services. Tanner & Orianne are great trustworthy, people.
