Cooking Under Pressure Program
A local company has launched a new program designed to “take the heat off” family caregivers who are cooking for their senior loved ones – especially those with special dietary needs.
This issue impacts many lives. By our estimates, there are approximately 22,900 households in Rowan and Cabarrus Counties who are currently caring for seniors.
Sponsored by Home Instead Senior Care, the Cooking Under Pressure program is based on new research which shows that cooking for seniors with nutritional risks adds to the stress of family caregivers. Program resources include a free handbook and a specially designed website (foodsforseniors.com) with shopping tips, healthy food suggestions and recipes for a well-balanced senior menu.
Please let me know if you would like to receive additional information about the program – including senior friendly recipes.
I can also help you arrange interviews with local program sponsors, family caregivers and seniors.
Thank you,
