ROUND ROCK, TX – TEXAS, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ – Arnaldo Ferrer has been an adult caregiver since 2013. In 2017 he brought his vision to life and opened the Cielo Vista Senior Day Care family there, working with him to care for customers. Cielo Vista specializes in caring for the disabled and the elderly in Las Vegas, Nevada, where customers come in the morning and spend the day. The center provides daily transportation to and from its customers’ homes, as well as medical appointments if necessary. They have an on-site nurse who will help with any medical needs. Arnaldo’s center focuses on mental health with two main components: diet and activity.

Every day, customers come to the center for a healthy breakfast, snacks and lunch. The centre’s population is 98% Hispanic, for whom health and nutrition play an even more important role in cultural eating habits, according to Arnaldo. Some have high blood pressure, diabetes, and / or are at risk for heart problems. Once a month, a nutritionist reviews all menus and visits customers at the center for information on nutrition. The on-site nurse teaches courses on good eating habits and healthy eating, with an emphasis on advanced age. The nurse is also very involved with clients regarding weight and diet for diabetes. The aim is to teach customers how to make better decisions about food.

The other piece of the puzzle for improving health is social interaction and activity. Arnaldo has daily activities for the seniors. You can do handicrafts and sing with live music. You can also play dominoes, take physical education classes, or even study English with an ESL teacher. They try to go on a park excursion three times a year, depending on the customers’ mobility allowances.

“The staff is great and we take great care of our seniors. It’s a lot of hard work, but we do the work from the bottom of our hearts and it’s really enjoyable. ”

The CACFP has played a crucial role for Arnaldo and Cielo Vista as nutrition is a central issue for the center. Arnaldo wants to offer the healthiest and best food he can. The financial aid from the CACFP enables Arnaldo to provide high quality, nutritious food to its customers. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the center has certainly been hit and CACFP has been a positive contributor to offsetting the costs, while many people are now choosing to stay at home. Arnaldo always wants to be able to provide the nutrients its customers need.

“When I am that old, I would love to go to a place like this. It will be the best six hours of the day. ”
CACFP is an indicator of high quality child care. When children are cared for by providers that are part of the CACFP, they are receiving the best nutrition available. Learn more about other CACFP providers featured in the Member Showcase through the National CACFP Sponsors Assocation.
