The Truth About Senior Appetite Loss (Myth vs. Fact)
โ Myth: "It's normal for seniors to eat less as they get older โ nothing to worry about."
โ
Fact: While appetite can decrease with age, significant food avoidance or weight loss is NOT something to ignore. It can signal medication side effects, dental pain, depression, or nutritional deficiency. If your loved one is eating less, it's worth a conversation with a healthcare professional.
Our nursing team supports seniors with nutrition monitoring and care.
