Do you have a senior in your life who seems not to be healing well?\u00a0 Maybe they have been discharged from the hospital and just aren\u2019t bouncing back like you might expect?\u00a0 You may be surprised to hear that malnutrition may be the culprit.<\/p>\n

A recent study<\/a> estimates that one in four adults is at high risk for malnutrition.\u00a0 If this condition isn\u2019t addressed, it can lead to longer hospital stays, poor wound healing, and recurring health issues. \u00a0\u00a0The National Council on Aging states<\/a> that \u201cOlder adults are particularly at risk for malnutrition due to changes in our bodies as we age. We may experience decreased appetite, weight loss, decreased mobility, and limited access to healthy food, among other challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nutrition is powerful \u2013 seniors with nutritional support see improvements in energy and mobility.\u00a0 This can mean the difference between independence and decline.<\/p>\n

Our Assisting Hands caregivers help with meal planning, shopping, and preparation and can tailor these to specific dietary needs.\u00a0 That means our home care clients have better access to fresh, healthy food.\u00a0 We also monitor hydration, another piece of nutrition that is easily overlooked but absolutely critical to health and wellness.<\/p>\n
