We Can Provide Meal Preparation Services

Handling aspects of life such as nutrition and hydration can become much more difficult when an individual becomes older or more frail. Individuals may not be able to look after themselves as they should when they get older. They may no longer hydrate as they need to in fear that they may not make it to the toilet in time or they may feel that making a meal just for one is a lot of effort. That is why the team at We Simply Care is here to help provide those throughout the Suffolk area with the meal preparation services that they are looking for to stay healthy.

Our meal preparation services are designed to help our clients stay healthy and to make the process of cooking much easier for them. We can design meal plans based on your dietary needs and requirements to ensure you are getting the right nutrients so you can feel your best on a day to day basis.

When someone chooses to utilise our meal preparation services, we will be sure to monitor how much fluid that individual takes in during the day to make sure that they are meeting the required eight glasses of water a day. We can help our clients set goals to make sure they can reasonably achieve them.

In terms of the client's diet, if they are malnourished, other supplements can be provided to help them gain the necessary weight and help them stay healthy. These can include food in the form of liquid if a person has trouble with the activity of eating. Meals can also be altered to make sure they reach a certain number of calories per day. We do this by adding high calorie supplements to meals. This can include creams or full fat milk. Often with dementia patients, individuals tend to lose the ability to swallow. In this case, we would provide a purée diet and a thickener to add to their fluids.

When working out a meal plan for people within our care, we work on a basis of what they enjoy. We only tend to intervene when they are not having as many calories as they should be. We also look into why individuals may be reluctant to eat. For example, the person may be eating alone, but they feel uncomfortable eating by themselves. We resolve this by offering to have lunch or dinner with them to make it a social event.
