Deborah Peterson is a personal chef at Vineyard Catering and prepares meals for busy families and caregivers. She is also a boutique caterer. One way a family can simplify is to get help from a personal chef: for holiday gatherings, either getting help with groceries, getting a few sides, or providing everything that’s needed. When celebrating the holidays with seniors, be aware of special diets, and remember that on their own, a senior might not be eating balanced meals. You can plan meals that are healthy during the holidays. Monitor medications and alcohol consumption, because it’s easy to get caught up in the celebrations.
