Erika Rendon is our guest on the Caregiver Smile Summit.
Eating well is important for all ages, but especially for older individuals and their caregivers who need to maintain their strength and energy, while often managing chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. Erika will provide healthy eating tips, meal options, ways to stretch your meals, plus recipes that make sense.
Erika is host of Nourish Senior Life and a franchise owner at Comfort Keepers. She was born in Colombia South America and was introduced to the senior population by her own family and in specific her grandmother who was the primary, 24hr caregiver to her grandfather that had advanced Parkinson’s. As a young person she recognized the desire to help seniors in need and in particular the 24hr caregivers that had limited support and resources. She step-stoned her way to a great career in assisted living and home care. The Nourish Senior Life Campaign is meant to provide education to the senior population on healthy eating choices that are affordable, easy to prepare and convenient for one or two people.

No doubt, reentering the workforce is hard and circumstances vary. How long you have been out of the workforce also impacts your strategy – three months versus three years. Let’s explore some strategies.
