Most older people are able to eat, but one of every five have trouble walking, shopping, buying or cooking food. If someone you know has trouble walking or standing for a long time, you know that they likely have problems shopping or cooking. If shopping is the problem, more and more stores now offer delivery of groceries to the home for a minimal charge. Shopping assistance-even transportation to and from the store may be available from a local senior center or home care agency that offers homemaker services in which these workers not only shop but can help with cooking.
If cooking is the problem, consider what meals you can microwave - including dinners already made that you can buy at the local store. Consider having meals brought to your home, there are a variety of services including Meals on Wheels which also offer special diets.
