With This Recipe Book in Your Arsenal of Elder Care Tools, You Create Healthy Meals for Your Elder, Save You Hours and Hours of Time, and Save You Hundreds of Dollars ... Let Me Show You How...
As caregivers of elderly we aim to have the healthiest parents that we can have. But in this fast food state of mind, which our society has put upon us, the quality of the foods we feed our elderly is suffering from the availability of the fast food restaurants and the amount of time that it takes to prepare a good healthy meal. It seems that more and more people are dependent on eating out, whether it be driving through a fast food restaurant, ordering pizza, Chinese delivery, or going out to a sit down restaurant. When it comes to feeding our elderly parents we can fall into this same downward spiral of not having the time to cook a healthy nutritious meal and just feeding them what is easy. As a caregiver you are pulled in so many directions that you don’t have the time every day to think of what you can cook for your elder.
The biggest motivator for me was one day I came home and saw that my staff fed Mom and Dad the entire family sized lasagna for one meal!!! It was meant to be at least 2 or 3 meals for each of them. Both of my parents would eat all of the food that you put on the plate, they grew up in the Great Depression and they didn’t waste food. The amount of sodium they got that one meal, 2035mg, was enough for them for a week!
I really felt bad that I was the one who was having the staff feed them...
