There is no question that, regardless of their condition, most of our elderly citizens would like to remain living in their own home and put off the dreaded move to a “nursing home” for as long as they possibly can.
While the majority will strive to maintain their independence, many seniors will require a certain level of assistance to allow them to stay safe and healthy in their homes.
Aged care workers, as well as family carers, play an incredibly important role in helping their clients or loved ones with any number of tasks related to daily living.
From domestic cleaning, to helping with showering and getting dressed, or, administering medication, carers play an integral part in ensuring that the elderly are able to remain living independently in their own homes for longer.
But providing care to this age group is no mean feat, especially for their loved ones who may have taken it on as a full time job.
It can come with a lot of responsibilities and considerations – including proper meal management to ensure the senior has a wholesome and nutritious diet.
Malnutrition, due to a lack of eating healthy and well-balanced meals each day, commonly leads to a rapid decline in health in older Australians.
For optimal health and wellbeing, especially in people aged over 65, foods high in protein, energy, and nutritional value are of great importance.
