While falling sick and getting diagnosed with ailments is not something you can control, choosing how to deal with them and manage your symptoms is in your control. For example, your diet choices. Every medical condition comes with its set of symptoms and dietary restrictions. It is crucial to manage every aspect of your health. That’s why Primus Senior Living, offering Chennai senior citizen homes and in other cities, takes each resident’s dietary concerns seriously.
At Primus, we understand that every individual is different and so is their diet. We offer customised food solutions to help manage your health.
Customised Food Solutions: Special Diets in Retirement Homes
Primus Senior Living is focused on helping you live a comfortable life and on making your golden years stress-free, including your diet requirements.
Here are a few customised food solutions that Primus provides at our Chennai senior citizen homes and in other cities.
1. Thoughtful menu:
The elderly at our senior citizen retirement homes in Chennai and other cities are served tea/coffee, breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. The meals are designed by our in-house nutritionist, who understands the impacts food has on health. Since a nutritionist has an in-depth understanding of the scientific basis of nutrition, the menu is well-researched and put together to meet the health requirements of our residents.
2. Freshly-cooked meals:
There are many benefits of consuming freshly-cooked meals, compared to ready-to-eat and reheated food. The process of cooking food well kills microbes present in raw food. But the thing with homecooked food is if you don’t immediately consume it, the microbes can grow back, making it difficult to digest. That being said, freshly cooked food is always more nutritious and provides more proteins and vitamins. Not just that, choosing healthy food and dining with friends and family can be good for your mental health. It is said that cooking and dining together help reduce stress, and anxiety and boost your mood.
3. Care plan:
When we are onboarding residents, the Primus team at our senior citizen retirement homes in Chennai and other cities designs a customised care package that best suits the resident’s lifestyle. After careful analysis of the individual's habits, lifestyle choices, health concerns and dietary requirements, we design a care package that helps them live a carefree and stress-free life, which includes their diet as well.
4. Festive food:
The team plans different activities and organises events to keep loneliness at bay. We also want the seniors to have an immersive experience in all the events/activities we organise and don’t leave any stone unturned. Whether it is Onam Sadhya or Deepavali delicacies, the team also celebrates every festival with a wide spread of festival food.
5. Experienced chefs:
We take every aspect of senior living very seriously. That’s why we ensure that the meals prepared at Primus are by someone who understands food well, is passionate and prepares wholesome and delicious meals. Our in-house chefs prepare scrumptious, nutritious meals with plenty of food options to choose from.

Ways To Avoid Depression In Seniors
Despite depression being common in older adults, it isn't normal. Seniors with the mental disorder stand the chance of increased risks of cardiac diseases, heart attacks and other illnesses. The symptoms of depression in seniors may not be the same as the ones seen in younger people. When depressed, the symptoms can affect the way they think, feel and engage in daily activities. Seniors can also appear to be tired, have trouble sleeping or seem grumpy or irritable. In some cases, depression can also cause them physical pain which cannot be attributed to any other health condition.

The New Old Age
Ageing is blissful. It is a time in your life when you can sit back and relax, not bother about anything other than your happiness. Your kids are settled, you are financially stable, and you donot have to race between office and home, yet, sadly, seniors often never get a chance to live their life to the fullest. For years, the freedom attained through ageing has been dealt with differently by our society. Seniors strive to handle things independently, manage daily chores, stay alone, and not socialise enough mostly because of the social stigma. But we're here to change that; Primus, the best retirement home in Chennai, is trying to redefine ageing and add more colour to it.
