Scott Silknitter from Caregiving 101 spoke on the Good Morning Show about meals and caregiving.
First, if an aging loved one doesn't live with you, it can be a challenge for you to make sure they have healthy food to eat. Thankfully, there's an increasing number of services to help families in this situation. Here are a few options:
- Meals on Wheels: The program in Guilford County is called Mobile Meals and is run by Senior Resources of Guilford. The program provides a fresh meal to seniors who aren't able to prepare their own meal and who don't have anyone to help them. You can find out more about the application process here.
- Blue Apron: Your loved one must be able to prepare the meal. The ingredients are pre-measured and there are multiple meal plans.
