Daily Living Support

Compassionate support with meal preparation, nutrition, and daily routines so you or your loved one can continue living comfortably and independently at home.

Helping You Enjoy Nutritious Meals Every Day

Good nutrition is the foundation of health and wellbeing, yet it is one of the first things to suffer when daily living becomes more challenging. Whether through age, illness, or disability, many people find it increasingly difficult to shop for ingredients, prepare meals, or eat without assistance. Our daily living support service ensures that every individual we care for receives freshly prepared, nutritious meals that they genuinely enjoy, served with warmth and dignity in the comfort of their own home.

Meal Preparation & Cooking

Our carers prepare fresh, home-cooked meals tailored to individual dietary needs and personal preferences. Whether it is a simple lunch or a full evening meal, we ensure every dish is nutritious, well-balanced, and enjoyable.

What We Provide:

  • Planning and preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  • Cooking meals from scratch using fresh ingredients
  • Following specific dietary requirements such as diabetic, low-sodium, or soft food diets
  • Batch cooking and portioning meals for the week ahead
  • Preparing snacks and light refreshments throughout the day
  • Catering for cultural and religious dietary preferences
  • Reheating pre-prepared meals safely and at the correct temperature

Nutrition Monitoring & Support

Maintaining proper nutrition is essential for health and wellbeing, particularly for older adults or those living with long-term conditions. Our carers monitor food and fluid intake and work with families and healthcare professionals to address any nutritional concerns.

What We Provide:

  • Monitoring daily food and fluid intake
  • Identifying signs of malnutrition or dehydration
  • Encouraging a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients
  • Supporting weight management plans recommended by healthcare professionals
  • Keeping records of dietary intake for medical reviews
  • Working alongside dietitians and GPs to adjust meal plans

Eating & Drinking Assistance

For those who need physical support at mealtimes, our carers provide patient, dignified assistance with eating and drinking. We take time to ensure meals are enjoyed at a comfortable pace, preserving independence wherever possible.

What We Provide:

  • Assisting with cutting food and managing utensils
  • Providing gentle prompting and encouragement during mealtimes
  • Supporting individuals who have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
  • Ensuring drinks are within easy reach and regularly offered
  • Using adapted cutlery, plates, and cups where needed
  • Positioning support to aid safe and comfortable eating
  • Monitoring for choking risks and following care plan guidelines

Maintaining Daily Routines

A consistent daily routine provides comfort and stability, especially for those living with conditions such as dementia. Our carers help maintain familiar patterns around mealtimes, hydration, and kitchen activities to support overall wellbeing.

What We Provide:

  • Establishing and maintaining regular mealtimes
  • Encouraging hydration with regular drinks throughout the day
  • Supporting morning and evening routines around food preparation
  • Keeping the kitchen clean, safe, and well-organised
  • Managing food storage and checking use-by dates
  • Assisting with making shopping lists and meal planning
  • Coordinating with family members on preferred routines and schedules

What Families Say

Mum was barely eating before Keko started visiting. Now she looks forward to her meals and has put on weight. The carers really take the time to cook things she enjoys.

The daily living support has made such a difference. I can stay in my own home and still enjoy proper home-cooked food every day. The carers are wonderful.

We were worried about Dad managing on his own after his stroke. The team at Keko make sure he eats well and stays hydrated. It gives us real peace of mind.
