Evaluation of Nutrition, Meal & Food Programs for the Elderly in Central Indiana
In response to increased requests to fund meal and nutrition programs for older adults, the Indianapolis Retirement Home Fund (IRHF) of CICF contracted with the University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community (CAC) to research meal and nutrition programs currently available to older Hoosiers and to evaluate how well those programs are able to reach Central Indiana’s older adults. Research and findings will help the IRHF Board become better equipped to respond to requests for funding for meal and nutrition programs for older adults, as well as allow IRHF to consider how to proactively impact the entire Central Indiana meal and nutrition system, and share information with other funding organizations and government agencies about older adult meals and nutrition issues.
