What to know before hiring a caregiver who cooks
Meal help is non-medical and is often the first help a family arranges. A caregiver can follow a diet the doctor has set but does not design medical diets.
Questions worth asking: What do you like to cook, and can you follow a special diet? Can you shop on the way and keep receipts? Will you eat with my parent, or only cook? More in our senior meal preparation guide.
