Essential Diabetic Care Tips for Seniors

Living with diabetes can feel overwhelming at any age, but for seniors, managing blood sugar can become an even bigger concern. Here at Intuitive Residential Care, we understand the unique challenges faced by our residents with diabetes, and we’re here to help!

Assisted living in Salem, Oregon provides a supportive environment where seniors with diabetes can thrive. We work closely with residents and their healthcare providers to develop personalized care plans that include medication management, dietary monitoring, and assistance with blood sugar testing.

Residential care in Oregon goes beyond just providing a place to live. Our registered nurses and certified nursing assistants are trained to identify signs of diabetic complications and ensure residents receive the care they need. We also offer delicious, diabetic-friendly meals prepared by our in-house chefs, so you can enjoy healthy and flavorful food without any worries.

Sometimes, family caregivers need a break. Respite care at Intuitive Residential Care can provide short-term stays for seniors with diabetes, giving their loved ones some well-deserved time off while ensuring their continued well-being. We will manage all diabetic care needs during the stay, offering peace of mind for the entire family.

Here are some additional diabetic care tips for seniors:

• Stay Active

  Regular exercise helps control blood sugar levels. Take advantage of our on-site fitness programs or enjoy walks in our beautiful gardens.

• Don’t Skip Meals

  Eating regular meals and snacks throughout the day helps regulate blood sugar.

• Stay Hydrated

  Drinking plenty of water is essential for overall health and helps prevent dehydration, which can worsen blood sugar control.

Schedule regular check-ups! Maintaining open communication with your doctor is crucial for managing your diabetes effectively.
