Snacking For Seniors

I saw today a link from Reuters regarding Snacking for Seniors. We find that we are always concerned with the diet of our senior clients and snacking seems to help us. Our clients rarely want to eat a lot at a meal, however the small meals that they take, sometimes do not provide enough calories or nutrients to provide the energy they need to complete their days activities.

At Right at Home, we find that if we provide small "meals" several times a day helps our clients take in more calories, PLUS they are more open to one banana or toast and tea, than a big meal. Since seniors sometimes eat less than the rest of us, pick the yummiest and most nutrient rich snack you can find. Happy Snacking!!
