In personal home care in Mesa, Arizona, understanding elderly nutrition needs is paramount for promoting overall well-being and quality of life. At Eminence Senior Care, we recognize the importance of addressing nutritional requirements to ensure our seniors thrive.

Here’s a closer look at some key considerations:

  • Nutrient-Rich Diet

    Seniors may need to focus on a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, including calcium for bone health and Vitamin B12 for energy.

  • Hydration

    Dehydration is a common concern for seniors. Encourage regular fluid intake throughout the day.

  • Smaller Portions, More Frequency

    Smaller, more frequent meals may be easier to digest and can help with maintaining appetite.

  • Easy-To-Chew Foods

    Consider softer foods or chopped versions of harder foods to avoid difficulty chewing.
