Introduction

• For the elderly, health is one of the most
  significant concerns, and having a good
  nutritious diet is critical. You'll be
  hard-pressed to find any seniors in the paid old
  age homes that don't have any food restrictions.
  As a result, senior care facilities must develop
  a personalised strategy of providing a balanced
  diet to all residents while considering their
  health issues and dietary restrictions. In this
  post, you will learn how paid old age homes are
  designed to give nutritious food to every
  resident of their organisation.

12-inch plate idea

• The retirement homes in Kochi have begun using
  the 12-inch plate for their usual diets. Consider
  a line down the centre of the container to
  understand this plan. Then, draw one line
  perpendicular to the first line on each side. You
  will now have four portions on your plate.
• They fill one section of this platter with cooked
  veggies such as spinach, cucumber, carrot, green
  beans, raw banana, onion, or locally available
  vegetables. Then they fill another part with
  locally available fresh fruits such as bananas,
  papayas, guavas, etc.

• Cooked grains such as ragi, rice, wheat, and so
  on were placed in one of the remaining portions.
  They mostly prefer brown rice and whole wheat
  bread and avoid white rice and white bread. Maida
  goods are avoided due to the dietary restrictions
  of the majority of the ingredients.
• In the final step, they add protein, such as
  pork, beans, or fish. When milk is allowed, a
  dairy dish (curd, yoghurt) may be included in the
  senior's meal plan.

Comfort food can be healthy

• To be scrumptious, comfort food does not have to
  be excessively unhealthy! Retirement homes have
  easy access to all of the comfort food
  favourites, with menus ranging from pizza to
  excellent steak dinners to appeal to the taste
  buds of senior citizens. While the dining choices
  provide many delicious comfort meals and
  cuisines, they are conscious of correct portion
  sizes and cooking techniques to ensure that these
  products offer residents balanced nutrition.
