Meal Preparation & Diet Planning
Meal prepping benefits range from reduced cost and time spent to lower stress levels as well as more success with dieting. We actively assist our residents in taking control of their diet and the foods they are eating which is one of the best ways to make sure they are healthy and happy.
We offer assistance in both planning nutritiously balanced meals and overall diet planning. Having a plan and food on hand will prevent them from making poor, hunger-based decisions when they arise.
Meal prepping can also help reduce the stress that comes with trying to eat healthier or in some cases the simple struggle of feeding themselves. We provide deliciously balanced meals for our residents everyday.

Professional Medication Management
Our medication management includes reminders, supervision, pill box, organization, daily log, individual medication administration, medication safety etc.
This is especially important with residents who struggle with understanding their scheduled regimens, or are experiencing cognitive decline/impairment that results in forgetfulness and confusion.

Understanding why they need to take certain drugs and in specific ways can also encourage them to take a more active role in managing their meds and their overall mental health.
