The trick is knowing how to provide an easy way for seniors to get the right amount of calories and nutrition in their meals.

If you or your loved one is seeking in-home care, ask about feeding assistance and meal preparation.

Feeding Assistance Safety Tip

90-Degree Angle Rule.

Ankles, knees, and hips should be at a 90-degree angle when possible. The feet should be flat on the floor or utilize the supports of their wheelchair. Their head should be straight with the chin facing downward just a bit.

Poor positioning can cause aspiration or choking. These two issues can be fatal.

If you have trouble with proper positioning, you can always get personal care at home services, so the elder care providers can take over this task.
