For all of us, food is an essential part of each & every day. The sights, smells, taste, sound & touch of food so often entice & engage us. Today, let’s take a slightly broader perspective on the topic of food & its benefits.
Food-related activities may be one of the areas of daily living that you or a loved one/friend may need assistance with it. Whether it be shopping, planning, preparation or advice, one of our team of carers at InPlace Care is sure to be able to assist.
