This spring, the renowned nutrition and healthy lifestyle expert for NBC’s “TODAY” show, Joy Bauer, hosted an incredible night with Home Instead.
Cooking for Longevity: sharing recipes, meal prep tips from Home Instead Care Pros, and stories that highlight how food can fuel wellness and connection at every age was attended by tastemakers in The Big Apple who came out to learn great lessons in cooking and care on a night full of delicious joy.
The bestselling author and columnist is a passionate advocate for making healthy food delicious and accessible, so she was a perfect choice to host the special event at Harry’s Table by Cipriani in New York City. The world’s leading provider of in-home care for older adults teamed up to spotlight the powerful connection between nutritious food, longevity, and meaningful aging in helping older adults age at home.

Bauer’s collaboration with Home Instead centers on a shared belief: healthy aging begins at the table with caregivers helping to lead the way.
“Cooking with–and for–my parents is the ultimate feel-good! It’s quality time together, and it enables me to fuel their health and vitality,” said Joy Bauer. “I’m excited to team up with Home Instead to demonstrate how nutritious meals can help older adults thrive, using simple and delicious recipes that provide joy at every age.”
With adults over 65 now outnumbering children for the first time in history, the demand for aging support is skyrocketing, while the supply of caregivers struggles to keep up. This collaboration addresses that growing care gap, showing how Home Instead Care Pros can step in to provide vital help with nutrition, meal prep, and daily routines that support healthier aging at home.
“As we face a growing care gap, solutions like nutrition and meal support aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential,” said Seth Sternberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Honor, the parent company of Home Instead. “Our work with Joy Bauer highlights how services like those Home Instead’s Care Pros offer can help bridge that gap and empower older adults to stay healthier and more independent at home.”
As more people choose to age at home, the support of a Home Instead Care Pro can make this easier. From personal care and medication reminders to companionship, transportation, and nutritious meal preparation, Care Pros help older adults maintain independence, preserve dignity, and continue living life on their own terms.

“As people age, they may begin to lose the senses or abilities that once made cooking enjoyable or even possible,” said Dr. Lakelyn Eichenberger, Gerontologist and Aging Advocate at Home Instead, Inc. “Through our continued partnership with Joy Bauer, and with the help of our Care Pros, we’re making it easier for older adults to enjoy nutritious meals that can support longevity, turning everyday moments in the kitchen into opportunities for health, connection, and joy.”
