For this activity, I want you to learn more about community nutrition services for older adults. Our textbook discussion some of these programs on page 669.
For your 10 points, research local resources that provide food and or nutrition assistance to older adults. Make sure you provide LOCAL resources. Local means close to YOU where ever that is. Answer the following:
[1.] Identify physical and emotional reasons why the elderly sometimes do not get adequate nutrition.
[2.] Give suggestions for ways elderly people who are living independently can care for their nutritional needs.
[3.] Identify at least ONE community resource for the elderly that focuses on food. Provide the name of the program(s) and explain how the elderly qualify for the program.
[4.] How can the elderly or families of the elderly obtain the services? Is there a cost for the program? If yes, provide details.
