Our Story
A Personal Mission
My grandma's health began to decline in her 70s after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. As her memory faded and she could no longer live independently, my mom and her sibling moved from California to Virginia to care for her. For about two years, my mom took care of her at home, but it wasn't easy. Her condition progressed quickly, and she began losing weight. The advice my mom received from doctors often felt too abstract or impractical, especially when it came to making sure my grandma could eat nutritious meals that still felt familiar and comforting.
Eventually, her needs became more than my mom could manage on her own, so we made the difficult decision to transition her into an assisted living facility. I still remember visiting her and seeing what they were serving for meals—cold hotdogs and fries with ketchup. For the price being paid, it was incredibly disappointing.
It's frustrating that so many elderly care facilities charge high fees but fall short when it comes to providing truly nourishing and enjoyable meals. Even many services that claim to support elderly nutrition don't seem to fully consider the importance of taste, cultural relevance, or dignity at the dinner table.
That's why I started ElderlyEats—to support caregivers and older adults with meals that are both nutritious and genuinely delicious. This isn't just a marketing line. I'm committed to transparency, and I've included open-source research into nutrition and global flavor profiles so you know exactly what's going into the food your loved ones are eating.
Our Commitment
At ElderlyEats, we believe that everyone deserves access to meals that are not only nutritionally balanced but also bring joy and comfort. We're dedicated to creating food that honors cultural traditions, respects individual preferences, and supports overall wellbeing for older adults.
