Many of our clients, when they are having a bad day, need something that is very easy for them to fix because they just do not have any energy. The activities of the day have drained them of any energy that they have, so if they have to fix a complicated meal, they will just not eat.
If you are bringing items from home, please remember that we cannot use any product that has been opened. Also, please check the expiration dates; the Marion Country Health Department requires that we dispose of certain foods that are past their expiration date.
- Toothpaste
- Tooth brushes
