The
National Council on Aging (NCOA) estimates that one
in four older adults suffers from a poor diet.
In order to remedy that, Bristol
Elder Services has teamed up with Steward
Home Care to offer cooking demonstrations at Fall
River Housing Authority senior housing sites. A team came to the
Mitchell Heights Apartments on South Main Street in Fall River on June 29,
2016 to put on a healthy cooking demonstration for residents there.
Bristol Elder COO Judy Klein led the group that included Nutrition
Director Debra Carreiro, Supported Housing Case Manager Brittany Kindberg,
Home Care Team Manager Beth Calvin and Steward Home Care Community Liaison
Julie Livingstone. The group demonstrated a crock-pot recipe for chicken
caccitore that is both economical and nutritious. "It's a tried
and true recipe," noted Klein who read the recipe aloud while the
team brought the ingredients to the table where residents could
participate in making the dish. Once it was assembled, the dish was cooked
for three-and-a-half hours in crock pots so residents could return to take
a portion with them. Click
