College football season brings people together, which can be helpful for those in elder care. Sherman Oaks, CA residents have lots to cheer for this fall.
Some will root with their assisted living 24 hour caregiver for the Trojans of the University of Southern California. Others will root for the Bruins from the University of California at Los Angeles with their senior companion. Sherman Oaks, CA residents may also root for a team from elsewhere in California, or even from another state.
But one thing is for sure: college football provides a great opportunity for people to gather together on Saturdays. And that means great elderly companion care can really help with nutrition care. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors have a great partner in great senior care in the compassionate, trained, licensed, and bonded CAREGivers of Homeinstead.
Our CAREGivers may also be big college football fans, and able to provide senior companion services on game day. They can help put healthy and nutritious snacks together, figure out which channel the game is on, and root on your favorite team during the game!
Healthy snacks would, of course, be conscientious of dietary needs and considerations. And these considerations would be at the top of the mind of the elderly companion care giver CAREGiver working with you or your loved one.
Such healthy snacks could include crudité of carrots, pepper slices, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, plum or cherry tomatoes, and more. Other snacks could be fruit, such as berries, plums, banana slices, oranges, or other fresh fruit. Some snacks like chips, pretzels, cheese and crackers, and some dips could also be included, but these often are filled with unhealthy preservatives, too much salt, and other things that may have been introduced during the cooking process.
Other considerations to make sure game day goes off without a hitch include beverages and, of course, making sure the game is actually on!
For those whose diets allow, a beer or two during the game might make the atmosphere more festive. For others, seltzer water, iced tea, lemonade, or other fruit beverages can add something to the fun.
And then, of course, the final element is the game itself. If you are the sort who struggles with technology, finding the game and getting it on the television can be a daunting task. So many channels, so many remotes, so many games — how to find it!? This is another area where your CAREGiver can help. Between setting up a new TV and all of the cable, streaming, and other content-providing subscriptions needed, to making sure on game day itself the game is available, it’s all part of the service that can be provided by the competent and caring CAREGivers of Homeinstead.
So don’t miss the fun of college football season! Root on the Trojans, Bruins, or whichever team grabs your passion! And have a great fall and winter.
