Eating and drinking properly is fundamentally important to all of us, and that can be a challenge for some of our clients.
We understand that many are concerned about how well their partners, parents or grandparents are eating and drinking. Every person is different, for some it is simply a question of lacking motivation to eat properly, perhaps in part because they live by themselves. For others there might be a physical or mental challenge that makes it more difficult to feed themselves.
Many of our clients are able to manage their own meal planning and shopping, for others we can provide support.
When meeting a new client we focus on understanding their preferences for eating and drinking and include that in a personalised care plan.
