When you become a caregiver, you may find that the person you are caring for has individualized dietary needs. He or she may be in need of a special diet or have a low tolerance for certain foods. Additionally, as we age, our sense of taste and smell may change. A person may feel that a certain dish needs salt, when in reality the food may actually be quite salty.
As a caregiver, you may have to learn new ways of preparing foods, explore the use of supplements, or become used to portioning foods in different ways. Proper nutrition is one of the ways that you may help to promote the health of those for whom you provide care.
