Meal Preparation

What Is Meal Preparation?

Meal preparation is defined as any planning or cooking of food regularly. Meal prep involves making sure an individual has adequate access to nutritious and healthy food throughout the week. This can include anything from grocery shopping and meal planning to actual cooking and serving of food. This service is offered by All Sufficient Home Care Services, Inc., a privately-owned home care agency based in the Oak Park area.

We take pride in our meal preparation service because all employees are trained, background checked, and carefully screened before they become a part of the All Sufficient team. A Client Director Services completes an assessment with every client to make sure that we are meeting their needs. We want to make sure each client feels comfortable with the caregiver that will be coming into their home and preparing meals for them or their loved ones. The number one priority at All Sufficient Home Care is the comfort and safety of our clients!

Meal preparation is a very important part of home care services because it ensures that individuals have what they need to maintain good health. Proper nutrition is vital for longevity and quality of life as you age but poor nutrition may increase your risk for falls, infections, illness, and other adverse events affecting your well-being including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers!

What Tasks Does Meal Prep Include?

In addition to deciding what meals to prepare, meal preparation may include purchasing necessary food items and supplies, doing preliminary cooking, and/or assembling ingredients into a finished meal. Meal preparation may also include serving the prepared meal and cleaning up. There are many other ways that individuals can prepare their meals ahead of time as well.

Here are some of the most common examples of tasks that may be associated with meal preparation:

  • Developing a menu plan
  • Grocery shopping
  • Cooking
  • Assembling ingredients into a finished meal (sometimes called “meal assembly” or “meal assembly services”)
