Millions of family caregivers manage complex diets for older relatives – often with little nutritional guidance
Over 60 million family caregivers in the U.S. assist older relatives with daily activities, including complex nutritional needs, often without adequate guidance. Many caregivers dedicate significant time and effort to managing these responsibilities, yet they frequently lack resources and information on nutrition. As older adults typically require more protein and nutrients while facing challenges like reduced taste and saliva production, addressing their dietary needs remains a critical yet complicated task for caregivers.
