Three in four adults more than 65 years of age have two or more chronic conditions that can limit day-to-day functioning. If an older adult is not able to grocery shop or cook meals, these tasks fall on the caregiver. In 2015, 76% of caregivers helped their loved one with grocery shopping and 61% helped with cooking meals. As a result, the caregiver’s dietary habits will impact their loved one’s diet. In other words, if the caregiver eats poorly (non-nutritious foods), so will their loved one, typically resulting in poorer health.

1 Comment

 
Meals can be a challenging time for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. However, there are steps caregivers can take to help make mealtimes successful. Consider these tips:
  • Serve meals in a consistent, familiar place and way whenever possible.
  • Offer just one food at a time instead of filling the plate or table with too many options.
  • Be patient and give the person enough time to finish the meal.
Check out NIA’s infographic to find more tips to make mealtimes easier for a person with Alzheimer’s.
