You’ll find ways to ensure they’re getting the nutrients they need, whether that means pureeing food or helping with a feeding tube.

And don’t forget about the presentation! Yes, you’re just putting food on a tray, but making it look appetizing can make mealtime feel a lot more enjoyable. You’ll be a part of their day, and your kindness is the secret ingredient that turns a simple meal into something they actually look forward to!
