Bringing Better Nutrition and Safety to Homes Across The Country

Since we took on our first home modification project, our team has been dedicated to addressing health at home through highly personalized support. This means that when families decide to work with our network of occupational therapists or schedule a safety checkup, we address every aspect of the home that may increase an older adult's risk of falling.?

And after conducting hundreds of home safety checkups across the country, we’ve seen firsthand how maintaining proper nutrition is a vital aspect of supporting an older adult’s safety and independence.?

In fact, addressing proper nutrition is an effective way to significantly reduce the risk of falling and reduce a variety of health complications such as:?

• Osteoporosis
• High Blood Pressure
• Heart Disease
• Type 2 Diabetes

Though for most older adults getting a proper and daily intake of food can be challenging.

This is often because maintaining a food routine becomes much harder when physical or cognitive impairments keep an older adult from being able to cook for themselves, safely reach for kitchen appliances or even remember to eat.?

That’s why we’re pleased to announce our partnership with Chefs for Seniors - a meal prep service on a mission to improve older adults' lives through food.?

By offering Chefs for Seniors services to Jukebox Health families, we are making it easier than ever for families to access an affordable and stress-free solution to maintaining proper nutrition. And with all meals being 100% customized to fit an older adult's dietary needs and personal preferences, we feel confident that older adults will receive the same type of personalized support that we at Jukebox Health strive for.?

A Personalized And Seamless Approach?

One of the greatest benefits to conducting a home safety checkup is that occupational therapists are able to see the environments in which an older adult spends most of their time and which areas they have a difficult time accessing - such as the kitchen.

Utilizing our technology during a home safety checkup, occupational therapists are able to assess, identify and document a wide range of factors that may negatively impact nutrition.?

These can include:?

• Unsafe stoves?
• Inaccessible kitchen appliances?
• Cognitive impairment?
• Lack of meal preparation or healthy eating

Once a nutritional risk is identified, our partnership with Chefs for Seniors comes into play.?

To seamlessly integrate Chefs for Seniors into our experience, we’ve added a new solution set that specifically addresses a lack of nutrition. This solution set allows occupational therapists to make additional notes about a nutritional risk and with the click of a button add Chefs for Seniors as a recommended service to the family.?

Once added as a solution, Chefs for Seniors appears within a family’s personalized home safety report. It includes additional information about Chefs for Seniors and recognizes if there are any skilled chefs currently working within their area.?

And if a family decides to move forward with Chefs for Seniors,? we are able to handle the initial steps of submitting a service request. From there, Chefs for Seniors assigns a chef to the home and starts providing the older adult with nutritious meals within days.?
