OurCare’s Meal Planning and Preparation Services

Preparing healthy and nutritional meals is an important service we provide here at OurCare. There are times when elderly or disabled individuals are not able to properly prepare meals themselves, or they may simply lack the strength or desire to eat. With our in-home caregivers, you no longer have to worry whether or not your loved one is getting the proper nutrition they so desperately need.

Exceptional Meal Preparation Services

Our team’s mission is to provide a care plan personalized to your family’s needs, bringing you comfort, companionship, and peace of mind.

Our comprehensive senior care services help aging adults stay engaged in everyday life with individualized support that keeps them safe and well at home. Carefully screened for your protection, the professional caregivers from OurCare immerse themselves into wherever home is to assist with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and build long-term relationships with you and your family.

Customized In-Home Elder Care Services

While in-home care services can help people at any point in the aging process, their care needs rarely fit into a pigeonhole. That’s why OurCare custom tailors our services to meet your unique situation and then adjusts as your needs evolve.

As a private, family-owned, and operated home care provider, we deliver dependable, compassionate care at all levels, including specialty care for those with Parkinson’s Disease, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s or other dementias. From brief check-in visits to round-the-clock care, our reliable caregivers have you covered.

We offer these top-quality Home Care Services:

Benefits

Meal Planning and Preparation

At OurCare, we understand that for some, preparing their own meals may even become dangerous. This can happen with elderly individuals suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease. Difficulty with planning and preparing meals can also stem from a lack of confidence due to a previous bad experience in the kitchen where they may have forgotten to turn off the stove or may have accidentally injured themselves. Our caregivers can prepare meals for them or simply provide them, and you, with the peace of mind of safe supervision.

Dignified Senior Home Care, When and Where You Need It

OurCare provides “cream of the crop” in-home care for seniors. The first step in our process includes a personal consultation with a Care Coordinator at no charge to you. In our meeting, we will thoroughly discuss your care needs, create a care plan, and work with you or your loved one to determine how best to meet your requirements.

Whatever your care needs, OurCare is there for you, always striving to exceed your expectations.
