Lower your Risk of Disease with Healthy Eating.

Eating a well-balanced diet is a vital part of staying healthy as we age. So why aren’t our seniors eating healthy?

Some reasons are:

·      Eating patterns change as we age

·      Depression in seniors causes a lack of motivation to eat healthier

·      Loneliness and isolation can cause lack of appetite

·      Our senses change

·      Disinterest in cooking

·      Unable to cook

·      Some seniors are unable to shop for groceries

Let Errands & More’s concierge meal preparation services get your diet back on track.

  

 The Sandwich Generation:

Easing the Squeeze

Are you between the ages of 40 and 60, working full or part-time, and feeling pulled between your aging parents and your children? If you answered yes, you are not alone! You are part of a category dubbed the “Sandwich Generation”, referring to the feeling of pressure from the generations above and below you. Add caring for grandchildren into the mix and you become the “Club-Sandwich Generation”.

Multigenerational caregivers often have high levels of stress, great financial hardships, and may also suffer from depression.

70 % of the “Sandwich Generation” experiencing work-related difficulties may switch to less demanding jobs, reduce their hours, or quit altogether. They often suffer from loss of wages and social security benefits upwards of $300.000. Women are affected by this kind of caregiving the most.

·      We save you money

·      We save you time

·      We offer peace of mind

·      We allow more quality time with your loved ones and downtime for you!
