Good Nutrition
While good nutrition is a critical part of your health, it has never been more important than it is as you get older. Thanks to their ability to influence biochemical and biological processes, nutrients are considered modifiable factors associated with a reduced risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, frailty, falls, and certain cancers. In addition, preserving or restoring adequate nutritional status is a key factor in delaying the onset of chronic diseases and accelerating recovery from acute illnesses.

Multiple Factors
As we age, multiple factors influence how we acquire, prepare, and consume food, including physiologic changes, chronic diseases, access to food, socioeconomic status, social isolation, environment, and cognition. At Buckner Retirement Services, we understand these factors contribute to your overall health and ability to meet daily nutrient needs.

Our Programs
That’s why we’ve built a culinary and nutrition program that pays close attention to everyday dietary patterns to assist you in obtaining optimal nutrition, while fostering an environment that helps you manage factors that could interfere with healthy aging and your quality of life. Additionally, we understand the fundamental role that food plays in our social interactions and know it is deeply rooted in our personal identities and practices.
