Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support in West Park
Weight does not fall off in a week. It goes an ounce at a time on the days nobody was there to see what was eaten.
Cook once, cover four days
A hot meal three times a week does less good than a hot meal twice a week with four portions put by, labelled and dated. The cooking visit is not only about the meal in front of you; it is about the days that have no visit at all.
That is why these bookings are planned around the whole week from the start, including the gaps, rather than being added to as problems appear.
Meal support is generally scheduled inside a longer aide or companion visit rather than as a booking of its own.
What a meal visit covers
Worked around any dietary instruction that is in force.
Shopping
A written list, the shop that actually stocks it, and food in the house before the weekend.
Cooking
Made on site to any prescribed pattern — reduced salt, diabetic, soft textures, thickened fluids.
Eaten with somebody
Eaten at the table with somebody else there, which beats any supplement for appetite.
Portions put by
Spare helpings made up, marked with the date, for whichever days have no visit.
Intake noted
How much was finished, how much came back, fluids taken — written down and flagged when it falls.
Reasons families call
- Jewellery that used to fit now slides around
- Most of the fridge is past its date
- Cereal has taken over the other meals
- A diet was prescribed and the kitchen never heard about it
- Dehydration has already sent somebody to hospital once
