Eating nutritious meals becomes more difficult with age:

-Possible mobility issues getting in the way (not just in the kitchen but also in the grocery store and the infamous task of carrying grocery bags into the home).
-Lack of motivation to prepare three meals per day (asking "What's for dinner?" got old over a decade ago).
-Transportation may be unreliable (seniors who no longer drive or feel uncomfortable driving may avoid leaving home).
-Budget concerns (fresh produce and quality ingredients aren't always fixed-budget-friendly).

For all the above reasons and more, it's important to know the nutrition assistance options that seniors have when living at home. We explain ways seniors can get help meeting all the challenges we list above. See our article for details.

Proper nutrition can be difficult, especially for older adults aging in place. Here are ways seniors can get nutrition assistance at home.
