Balanced nutrition leads to a greater quality of life for seniors.
The majority of seniors are at risk for malnutrition, due to a lack of proper nutrition. Recognizing malnutrition in seniors could be challenging. Even, elders who eat sufficient food could be having the wrong foods to keep themselves healthy.
Comfort Keepers support seniors to live a healthy and independent life. Therefore, we support senior nutrition through the Nourish Senior Life® action we run at our organization.
Nutritional demands vary as the person's age changes. Therefore, making sure these variations are taken care of makes a real difference in their state of life. Caregivers or family members must know the symptoms of appetite or malnutrition in older adults:
Beware of any physical difficulties, poor wound healing or bruising and dental problems.
Retain a report of weight loss.
It's perfect to pay consideration to seniors' eating practices. Don't rely on self-reports only. Manage to spend mealtimes with seniors at home. They could a better idea of normal eating habits that way.
It is necessary to know what medications an older loved one takes. Make sure that you know what are the possible side effects. 
If there are any medical issues about nutrition or medication or anything important, caregivers can speak with doctors about tests that can help identify chronic malnutrition or other nutrition-related problems.
