Appetite Concerns

Though loss of appetite is common among seniors, especially those living alone, it can also be attributed to many things including depression, illness or anxiety. Good nutrition is vital to your health and wellbeing, and you should make every effort to eat well-balanced meals with plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. If preparing meals is difficult for your or your family, you may want to consider a meals program such as Meals on Wheels offered by VNA HealthCare or other meal programs in your area. VNA Health Care’s meals program is reasonably priced and can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
