What is nutritional care?
Nutritional care is one of the most important components of domiciliary care for individuals. It involves providing a balanced and healthy diet to individuals who require assistance in maintaining their dietary needs. People who receive domiciliary care may have specific dietary requirements or restrictions due to underlying health conditions, age, or medication they take. Hence, it is essential to consider their nutritional needs and provide the necessary dietary support.
Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in promoting good health and preventing illness. Malnutrition is a common issue among elderly people who live alone or face mobility impairments. It is vital to ensure that individuals receive a good intake of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are required for their overall well-being. Nutritional care plays an essential role in maintaining the overall health of an individual and preventing further complications.
