Discover senior care services available for nutritional assistance in the Bedford and Halifax, NS area.
Malnutrition is a serious and all too common health issue in seniors. Whether due to mobility issues, loss of appetite, medication side-effects, dementia or depression, the senior population is highly susceptible and vulnerable to nutrient deficiency. Among the many consequences of malnutrition, seniors are at a heightened risk of contracting an illness or infection, can experience accelerated deterioration of speech and memory and may undergo recurring hospital admissions. With a common goal of helping seniors continue to live healthy, independent lives as they age, each team member is trained in senior nutrition, able to identify the signs and symptoms associated with malnutrition and provide personalized senior care services.
