Encouraging Seniors to Eat Despite Having No Appetite

Some seniors lose their appetite or avoid food for a variety of reasons.

However, this does not change the fact that you are concerned about them and are making every effort to ensure they receive the necessary nourishment.

Here are some suggestions for encouraging seniors who have lost their appetite to eat:

• Maintain a routine schedule for mealtime

  Feeding them around the same time daily, their bodies will learn to expect food.

• Serve high-nutrient meals in smaller quantities.

  Large amounts of food might overwhelm some people. Smaller quantities should be served.

• Keep an assortment of convenient snacks on hand.
  It’s possible that some people would rather eat smaller meals more often throughout the day as long as you can supply them with a nutritious and flavorful snack while serving them good companionship.
